Hi Emmanuel,
I just wanted to give a bit more details about the problems I was having with maven. It didn't
seem too serious, and maybe it's normal, but it was just a bit worrisome due to my naivete
with maven ;-)

Haha, ok. I did use maven 2.0.4. The errors I got were along the lines of "I couldn't download
that from that location" or "IO error while downloading that." Just reissuing 'mvn install'
over and over seemed to get me a build, so I'm happy until I get to testing out the build
;-)

Great, thanks!

Ah, ok, I do use cygwin, but I didn't use it for this first build. I'll give that a shot.

Yep, just started using the svn 'trunks' version ;-) Maybe I'll change to the other one you
mention if that's going to be the next 'stable' release. Thanks for the help, it's much appreciated!
