I see that Wendy is using Maven 1.x.  Are there any plans to move it to Maven 2?

Yep, I knew that, both that she was Mavenizing it *and* that she can be 
a glutton for punishment :)

I was hoping you'd continue the Ant scripts... as I said to Wendy a few 
days ago, it seems like many people are switching to Maven, and I liked 
being able to point to you and say "hey, Craig isn't using it, I can't 
be completely wrong in sticking with Ant!" :)

At the end of the day though, it's just like Struts... Whatever my 
feelings about Maven, if the build works and I don't have to maintain 
the script, not really a big deal either way.

I know the feeling, I haven't been overly excited about Maven 
personally.  This particular feature though is one that I didn't have an 
immediate aversion to, and I was happy to find this analogy for Ant... 
especially for JWP as an example, it cut out over 1MB of download size 
from the source distro; I definitely appreciate that.
