Hi Sam,

Please realize that "Maven a Dev's Notebook" is specific to Maven1.

In general, the comments you received in this thread were specific to
Maven2 ie "mvn site" etc. In this mail list, we assume M2 unless you
specify M1. The book you will want to read for M2 is "Better Builds
With Maven" and it is a free PDF from www.mergere.com.

For all intents, you can think of M1 and M2 as completely separate
products which happen to share a name. So don't read BBwM and then try
to use what you've learned in M1, or vice versa.

Great thank you so much Siegfried. SomeDude is not my real name of course :)
I just need to be anonymous for when I ask "maybe-not-so-smart-questions".

I am almost done with chapter 1 from "Maven a Developer's Notebook" and then
I will start trying out your advice.

Thank you again :)
