Douglas,

Please see: http://wiki.liftweb.net/index.php/Maven_Mini_Guide

We contemplated "wrapping this crap" (to use your words), but in the
interests of exploiting the best of our maven based build system the
following is the recommended command for project creation:

mvn archetype:generate -DarchetypeCatalog=http://scala-tools.org/

I have explored providing scripts before, but from a maintenance and
update perspective the maven solution was just superior in every way
as its centrally managed (and therefore updatable from a project/
community perspective).

Im open to suggestions about making this process smoother, so please,
if you have some suggestions by all means make them :-)

Cheers, Tim
