In continuum we have a problem where if maven "modules" are sibling  
projects (i.e. referenced via ../some-project/pom.xml) then continuum  
just can't handle it, each build is done in a numberically named  
directory and thus the reference can't be followed.  I will look into  
if Hudson can manage this better.

Again, thanks, I think I will try it out as a replacement for continuum.
