Okay.. Maven is great, but can also be a pain in that now people are starting to extend maven, but the ability to download and install plugins hasn't been fully baked in yet. The problem you are running into is that you don't have the avalon meta plugin installed. Go to http://www.ibiblio.org/maven/avalon-meta/plugins/ and grab the latest (1.3.2) version and put the jar in your maven/plugins/ directory and then try the build...
If you have build maven post RC1, then you can do: maven plugin:download -DartifactId=avalon-meta-plugin -DgroupId=avalon-meta -Dvers ion=1.3.2 and it will install... I will update the startup directions!

I've tried to read everything I can and other than other folks having problems, nothing seems relavant (or is a year or two old). I've tried the multisite:project mentioned in the web page and maven complains that doesn't exist in the project. I've tried jar and jar:jar (I have no idea of the diff between the two are, but I've seen both mentioned, just trying anything I can) and with jar it quickly does a bunch of steps but doesn't seem to actually compile anything (nothing in target/classes). Any help on how to build this would be appreciated. I know folks are working on all this and I'm doing my best to keep a stiff upper lip over the problems, but I just can't seem to get anything to work (along the general lines of trying to get hibernate and security to work in turbine). A few pointers would be really helpful.
