I was chatting with Brett Porter last night, who was saying that Maven 2 is
substantially better than Maven 1 in this regard. If someone wants to show
what Maven 2 would do to/with our site, I'm certainly willing to look.

And Maven is apparently working on both of them. This is not a JAMES
isolated issue, but one that has come up in various discussions around the
ASF.

Yes, I would say that of any tool that downloads from a public repository.
We have said it regarding an Eclipse repository, too.

True, although it makes things more difficult for us. Personally, I'm not
at all prepared to freeze interfaces between our "internal" components,
and/or declare them ready for standalone use.
In any event, we can look at it if someone wants to add m2 support. And I
will look at using <subant> to see what we can do. From what JvZ was saying
in some e-mail yesterday, the primary difference is that M2 is patterned,
and Ant is not.
