John raised an issue in JIRA I believe.

There are a whole slew of issues that need to be dealt with but right
now I'm doing the grunt work and being a build monkey to get every last
dependency of m2 and plexus building under continuum. Once that is done
I will start seriously tackling the issue for the alpha-1 release, but
everything working under Continuum is my priority in the short term.

and sit softly on your shoulder ...
