Interesting. I didn't know it. I don't use it often, you'll have noticed ;).

Is that what you meant? If so, then no problem. My sole purpose here was about building. > In April we had our last release of the mojo-parent, so that's not too > long ago.

I'm in no hurry at all about releasing mojo-parent. My point was currently *only* about fixing the current trunk so that it's OK for the next time we release it. Cheers.
