Just because Maven provides another way at looking at builds doesn't mean that 
some of the things that Ant did are wrong. 

I've been doing some reading online and it seems like you are allowed to create 
"aggregrator" plugins? Is there any good documentation on this?

p.s. Maven provides phases that mojos are supposed to attach to, but one of 
Ant's greatest strengths is doing sequential building. As a developer I can 
easily write out the full command list for 10 goals in the right order, but I 
don't want to subject every other developer to that, it doesn't make much 
sense. Also, it is not right that such an answer should be allowed on a mailing 
list. I asked a simple question, if you didn't know, or if you don't agree with 
the approach I'm taking just tell me, don't tell me to go read 2 books. I 
thought this mailing list is designed to answer questions not act in this 
manner.

You've got some reading to do. The Sonatype book and Better Builds
with Maven book (free PDF books you can download online) are a good
place to start your reading.
