Thanks for the quick answer. I don't particularly need old style commands, and didn't really realise there were 'old-style' and 'new-style' commands, I was just following the documentation - eg. Maven in 5 Minutes,<http://maven.apache.org/guides/getting-started/maven-in-five-minutes.html>from which the first command in my post was taken.
So, given that I don't need old-style commands, what do new-style commands look like? Where can I find documentation on them? Regards, Tom On Sat, Feb 16, 2008 at 6:03 PM, Brian E.
