Isn't that the result of a poorly maintained project that uses *any*
build process, whether it be Maven, Ivy, Ant, Make, or even their own
custom script?  The tool really should not be blamed for difficulty
compiling poorly maintained projects.  Maven is there to make it easier
for the dev team to keep the project in order, but it sure doesn't make
up for any lack of due diligence.

Thankfully, the wicket team does their due diligence, and as a result,
it is *much* easier for me to compile, check dependencies, build
javadoc, or whatever else I need to do.
