Thanks for the hint Stefano. That helped. I've made it through many years of
Java programming and somehow avoided maven (until now).  That appeared to
be a command line, so I went to where I had the Piggy Bank project
(under the Eclipse work directory), and typed the command.  Things started
downloading.  I'm not sure why (didn't I already download it from the SVN
repository?).  It's still not building without errors (missing jetty, log4j,
retroweaver, libidn, sesame, whirlycache).  I think I might be able to
make headway from here (unless of course you are feeling generous and think
I'll screw this up ;-)
