    Ok, so we have this really sucky build system based on cloning
    generic.xml from Wonder circa 2005 or so. It gives me the willies,
    because it means that the deployment builds are built with something
    different then the development builds.

    So I thought, well, this maven stuff seems to be hip and happening. I
    mean, Apple's providing nightly builds (which don't seem to be
    nightly? No update since June 10th?). I only really want one feature,
    which is to be able to work without thinking about the deployment
    build in Eclipse, but then have the deployment build match the Eclipse
    build.

    A few Eclipse plugin installs later...

    Supposedly, you can build the Wonder sources with maven. According to
    build.txt, you just have to do:

       mvn --non-recursive org.objectstyle.woproject.maven2:maven-
    wobootstrap-plugin::bootstrap

    Nope:

    [ERROR] BUILD FAILURE
    [INFO]
    ------------------------------------------------------------------------
    [INFO] Required goal not found: org.objectstyle.woproject.maven2:maven-
    wobootstrap-plugin::bootstrap

    There's more steps in Build.txt, but they reference Common, which no
    longer exists in Wonder, so they don't work either.

    So that's kind of discouraging.

    Could someone tell me something encouraging about Maven?

    Pierce
