One thing I'd like to see working is the scm:bootstrap goal. Assuming you have a JDK and maven installed, maven will checkout your source and build the project. For example, this works for activeIO:

maven scm:bootstrap -Dmaven.scm.url=scm:svn:https://svn.codehaus.org/ activeio/trunk/activeio -Dmaven.scm.checkout.dir=activeio

Of course activeIO doesn't complete the build for some reason, but you get the idea :)

This may be slightly related to Hernan's wiki thread but since we were talking about G for the impatient and a newbie manual, thought I'd ask this.

Dave Klavon was talking about a single download and setup of all prereqs and G source, and build it too. I liked that idea and think that would be really nice. I even put together a package with basic scripts for that.

However, now I am beginning to wonder if it is legal/permissible for us to "ship" JDK, svn, maven and CVS in this single package ?

Comments ?
