Huh? No need for nightly builds? Even if we forget the minor details
that you need to have SVN, Java and Maven set-up) the nightly builds are
still extremely useful. Often you *don't* want to run the latest, but
stay with an officially released version or the first patched up version
if you have to.
svn co -r{2005-01-01} .......
cd build
mvn install
(? I presume this overrides a "newer" version in the maven2 cache...)
Also for verifying fixes, nightlies are extremely useful
(as in "it should be fixed in nightly, try it out").
svn update
cd build
mvn install
This is probably quicker than downloading a nightly if your svn checkout
is reasonably up-to-date.
However as Dennis noted I'm not saying that nightlies have *no* value,
just that it isn't top priority right now because it's not at all
difficult to build your own.
I'm pretty sure nightly builds will be back within the next week or two.
