I am surprised too. I only can see in one eye and I have to keep my head facing 
the ground most of the time but I can still use my iPad and phone.

Mvn site does not build the distribution. I am actually at the dr to get my 
bandage off but I will check when I get home what you need to run but I think 
it might be mvn -P release install
