I think it's common sense.

Now I am not that sure that my idea is feasible, because maven is not designed for the kind of job I had in mind. I wish to allow comments and other stuff that you usually see on a blog/personal website. I like the idea and I think I am going to follow this so please send me updates.

Before then, don't worry too much :-) Ok, thanks for the advice. This is usually what happens, people who care take action, but I guess it's my problem for making concerns about stuff beforehand. >> Also, can I test the mailbox without deploying a real server? > > Develop an appropriate harness.
