new avalon/excalibur test release

[Jorg Heymans]

Dear all,

I have created a new test release of the avalon/excalibur components 
here [1]. The aim of this release was to convert a/e to maven2, so that 
people could include it in their m2 based projects using proper 
transitive dependency management based on clean poms.

If you want to get involved in the testing process feel free to give the 
jars and poms a spin. Please send any feedback/comments to the excalibur 
dev list. If there are some jira issues outstanding that you would like 
to have addressed before the next release then please let us know so 
this could still be considered.

@cocoon: i tested the ones we're using with core-webapp and everything 
seemed OK (at first sight). Perhaps some of the core-hackers could 
provide more valuable feedback here.


Thanks
Jorg
