No, no. When I asked the other day how heavily used entities were used a fellow, who was a project manager, said he used entities extensively in order to keep track of things. Sounded like he had a lot of builds and had it under control.

Once the 1.0 released then we can start the 1.1 path and think about integrating some bits and pieces from the components. By then I'll have the little project generator sorted out. I would like to generate something like a 1000 small projects with a great level of POM recursion, shared dependencies and anything else I can throw in to find places where things break down. From there I can incorporate project ideas from users that have maintenance problems due to the current limitations. > > Niclas -- jvz.
