I realize that it may be pointless since the talk was about debuging Geotools in
an Eclipse environment, but I would just like to inform that NetBeans 6 has an
impresive Maven 2 support. Nothing to configure, no Maven task to lauch. You
even don't have to download Maven! (you need to select "Maven" in the list of
NetBeans plugins however, but this is very easy). Just click on "Open project"
and Netbeans see every directory containing a "pom.xml" as an ordinary project
that it can open immediately. It scans your ".m2/repository" directory by itself
and all dependencies are immediately loaded. Even the debugger work through
Maven! (I means, Netbeans launch test classes with Maven and the debugger
connect to that). You can also set custom properties like "maven.test.skip" for
any project without modifying the pom.xml file.

In short, with NetBeans 6 you can open the Geotools project and debug it right
out the box with no configuration at all - I tried it and it worked for me.
However NetBeans 6 is still in milestone stage (not even beta), and still have
some bugs. Final release scheduled for November.
