I tried to build a few Geotools modules with Maven 2.0 beta 1, because I want transitive dependencies. Should I commit the pom.xml files to SVN? It should not conflict with Maven 1.

I'm pretty happy with Maven 2 for the compilation and JAR packaging part. All Geotools JAR now have a Class-Path entry in the MANIFEST.MF file with all dependencies in it, which means that users do not need anymore a one-kilometer long classpath. I have more trouble with the javadoc generation part of Maven 2, but this is secondary (I guess it will be improved before Maven 2 final).

The Maven 2 final report is easier to read. "m2 install" gives the following output (after compile, test, package, install):

(yes I know, I have not yet reached 'main'. It will be a task for tomorrow. but this first trial is encouraging).
