First, this is just my opinion. Although I have Windows XP and use it
all the time, I despise using it for anything other than windows
specific applications. I use VMWare on Windows so I can develop in
Ubuntu on my Windows laptops. I have had too many weird things happen
in Windows to use it anymore for development or testing work. I used
cygwin for quite a while and it helps about 95% of the time, but the
other 5% sucks. Now having gotten that off my chest I will say that we
will support Windows XP because we can run and test there.
Second, as this link,
http://www.microsoft.com/windows/support/endofsupport.mspx, points
out,Windows 98 hasn't been supported by MS for over a year and a half.
You can hardly expect open source developers to test or support that
system, especially since you'd be hard pressed to find a commercial
company any more that does. We can only test on the hardware and
operating systems we have.

I am teaching HTML, CSS, and XSL (=Cocoon) to people using Win98 PCs.
If Maven2 will not run on Win98, neither will Cocoon-2.2. I'll use
Cocoon-2.1 for the class.
Teaching Cocoon 2.2 is a much better idea since it's far more lightweight and
has nice plugin for
RAD development which is probably a big advantage for people learning (and
making mistakes).
It's maybe a good idea to get back on making working under Win98. I have no
idea about Maven
internals but since it's purely Java-based project it should work. I cannot
help you with Maven
hacking because I simply do not have access to Win98...
I'll start a new thread about attempting to run Cocoon-2.2 on Win2003
for a different project. I know Cocoon-2.2 is still just a release
candidate, but a release cacndidate should at least install and run.
Since Win2003 is NT-based system Maven should work on it out of the box (I
believe).
