I have found the Sysdeo plugin works pretty well. I have found some hair pulling moments. But the key seems to have been making sure to have your project sources and projects included in the Tomcat path. In eclipse, look under Windows|Preferences...|Tomcat
w.r.t maven I use it a lot but I am always finding it a hair pulling experience. For example, how come maven doesn't have a meaningful '-help' available? How come there doesn't seem to be any way of asking for a list of all plugins on all the repositories? etc..( :-P ) The learning curve and magic knowledge needed is still high with maven. If you know ant , just stick with ant for a while until you get tapestry going! -Pat
