There are bugs in the Maven 10 release, many of which have been resolved under the imminent beta 11/RC1. There are also a number of defensive practices that can be employed to minimise problems. There are several examples of maven based builds in Avalon - the Framework 4.1.5 release, the recently released Avalon Meta 1.1 package, a number of recently converted Excalibur packages (i18n 1.1 and configuration and 1.1), and the new Merlin 3.0 container release. These collectively represent a total of more than 40 maven subprojects consolidated under 5 parent project. Stephen.
