Too bad, we get this complaint all the time. We've had thousands of downloads and imagine if we tried to accommodate everything users request for a different repository?

It could probably be done as a future feature possibly but the whole tenet of Maven is one of unification from one end of the process to the other. Gear primarly for new projects and those that are willing to put in the time up front to save an immense amount of grief. For some change you get everything that Maven has to offer. But Maven might not be for your development team. If you want to customize everything to suit your needs you might want to look at Centipede and you can use your existing Ant builds. > Thanks for your help, > Mike > > > --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
