OK

Agreed.  Assuming by this you mean we will still release (upload to maven 
central repo) the targets of the maven install operation.

I struggle with the idea of publishing a .war for commander.  Before this app 
may be deployed (correctly), it requires configuration settings for a 
particular ldap host server.  In this scenario, a user would have to hand edit 
a config file and poke it back into the .war before it would work.  Not a very 
good practice IMO.  I’ll need to think about this and come up with a solution.

Tried to build and received an error pulling down directory api-all M29.   
Understand this has *just* been released so this is probably just a timing 
issue.

One problem I can see is the maven install isn’t publishing the javadoc 
artifacts to the local .m2 repo, though it can be found under target.  Not a 
showstopper, just something to figure out.

Thanks,

Shawn
