you got me wrong on this. i build wicket with maven without any trouble from
svn. i'm fine with it.

i just wanted to express, that not anyone trying to build a webapp with wicket
is a maven expert or wants to become one (i don't want either).

so, when someone asks a question on dependencies, i find it somewhat 'rude' to
just come in with a comment suggesting 'maven can tell it, read the maven docs
and you'll understand all this'...

maven surely has brought structure into projects - and building wicket with
maven just worked for me out of the box. but if you look at all those projects
out there, there is the case that maven 2 can't build maven 1 projects,
dependencies are sometimes not resolved automatically and if hand-adding libs
you start getting trouble if you don't know maven in more depth.

to make a long story short: maven is fine if the project is setup and maintained
 for it. else it gets a real pain.

regards, --- jan.
