Don't want to jump the gun of any sort here but for such RTFM-type
scenarios, we have recently started an effort at
http://faqbot.codehaus.org/
Ideas, contributions are welcome!

Wayne,
Thank you for your response, and be assured, I am grateful. But I
suppose I also wonder, if this is such a common question, why isn't it
in the documentation or the FAQ? I routinely see questions asked on
this list that receive RTFM-type answers (I'm not referring
necessarily to yours, but in general), when it begs the obvious
question as to why all these "common" issues aren't in plain black and
white in the documentation? I don't think that there's any valor in an
answer that basically says, "the answer is elsewhere, go find it".
Please excuse my comments here -- they are not directed at you, but
the situation in general. I've been working with maven for about a
month now, and it truly is a great piece of technology. But there are
more holes in the documentation and issues not covered that can be
counted, and for each one of those little issues the answer has been
"Google it". Add up about 50 of those, and you can sink quite a bit of
time sifting through the gazillion results that come up on Google.
I'll be quite frank -- I think maven is terrific, but the amount of
time I have sunk into untangling all of the issues getting projects
configured, packaged, and deployed, remote repositories configured,
maven-proxy configured, and the Eclipse plugins / projects configured,
has me wondering how close I'd be to a clean solution written myself.
This isn't to say I would do better, but when you have to search and
tinker repeatedly on common usage issues, your time is no longer user
time, it becomes developer-time
I guess I just sometimes wonder what the positive effect would be if
the maven developers took half the development effort and didn't cut
any more lines of code, and just documented things.
Thanks for suffering my comments....

I am building a jar (and ejb module) that needs to have all of its

accomplish this?
