Hi BJ/Dan, I'm not aware that there can be a shorter method without providing
better integration between Eclipse and Maven, which might be possible with
m2eclipse plugin (http://m2eclipse.codehaus.org/) but I've never used it. Might
be a good exercise though, since it would certainly provide much faster
debugging capabilities.....
