Hi Andy,Sorry my comments were interpreted as requesting you to roll back the changes. I hadn't completely read the commit and wasn't trying to interfere.
I agree with the goal to have the entire help fit into what most users can see on a virtual terminal. Beyond that, I don't want to paint the bike shed a different color.

Hi Craig,Most of my use of the tck is on a virtual terminal, so I guess I'd like to keep the 80 character guideline.Ok (but dont VTs allow more than 80 chars? I can on Linux). Previous version of maven.xml is now reinstated but I would say that a "help page" should have all key info on *one* page of a typical users screen. So if we are limiting to 80 chars width then that would have to fit into say 64 lines (how many I have on my screen, and many people will have less). What is there currentlydoesnt even with 64 lines ... hence scrolling -- Andy (Java Persistent Objects - http://www.jpox.org)
