Maybe my intervention is related. I tried building the ftpserver project using 
maven 2.0.8 (mvn install) but unfortunately it fails, the unit tests fail. Did 
anyone had the same failure? It's pretty annoying.

Also, how mature is the project? Can I start using this in a commercial 
application or is it still too unreliable? (From the unit tests, I would 
believe it is not ready yet...)

I hope I will not offend anyone but, to avoid breaking the trunk build, I would 
recommend you to adopt a development branch that would synchronize with the 
trunk branch only if all unit tests pass. This way, the user won't check out 
stuff that is unreliable and break unit test.

+1. That means people provide some patches, helps, documentation too.  
As this is a collaborative effort, sharing info about what's wrong and 
how to fix it is the way to go. This will make users happy :)

Well, I don't know, but 2.0.7 fixes some bugs in 2.0.6, so there is no 
reason we should stick with a buggy version when a new one is out there. 
May be looking on the Maven site for a release note could help ?
