Hi,

I have reorg'd the repo and it now looks like this:

http://jakarta.apache.org/turbine/jars2/

The maven bootstrap is working and I tested building betwixt and
everything looked good.

A couple issues came to mind while doing this:

o Naming consistency. We should encourage lower case hyphenated project
ids and that's the name that should be used when generating artifacts.
There's a couple problems like the xerces products and the relaxng
thing.

o Properties handling: do we want to have an Ant mode where the first
property defined wins? Currently we have the last property defined
winning which I'm sure will mess some people up.

o Dealing with multiple JARs: currently to get around this limitation I
am using the <jar/> to specify more than one JAR. So in the maven
project.xml file there are two dep entries for ant and the second
explicity names ant-optional-1.4.1.jar. We definitely need something
better but this is working to allow the bootstrap and building to work.

o The project verification stuff definitely needs to moved to Jelly!

Just thought I would share.
