Since THE GREAT OVERHAUL (TM) I have repeatedly failed to build Merlin from
a vanilla checkout of the avalon module. Presuming that the old way of
building the meta, util, repository and merlin submodules separately is now
obsolete I tried a simple 'maven' from the top level avalon directory. This
fails with a 'no goal: [avalon:install]'. This raises the question of which
maven plugin defines this goal. I had some trouble upgrading maven to rc2
and in the end nuked my whole maven installation so that my old plugins are
lost. Scanning through the sources of the various maven plugins to be found
under avalon I could not find suitable candidate.

Trying the old way of

cd meta
maven

fails with

BUILD FAILED

which probably indicates that maven erroneously looks for the buildsystem
submodule in a directory relative to the current directory instead of
relative to the avalon directory.

Or maybe the mere attempt to do do what I am trying to do at this point in
time is a sure token of hubris? Should I rather wait until the grounds stop
shifting?
