I'm not a maven fan, TBH: I consider myself quite on the other side of the fence, but don't count this as a veto: he who does it, deserves it so feel free to go ahead.

please apologize my ignorance, what is the other side of the fence? is it something similar to maven or "nothing" (meaning the normal suspects: ant, etc...?

Yeah, I'm perfectly satisfied with ant and with no need to mess up with that huge beast that maven is. I have a strong opinion on software tools: they don't deserve more than two hours of my time to get me started (take ant: download, unzip, set ANT_HOME, rock 'n roll). Maven took me days and still I haven't been able to build a single project, go figure use it for my daily work. It's probably me being limited and just unable to cope with it.

On another subject, is there any kind of high level documentation to get acquainted with the current codebase (apart obviously from the spec itself)? I'm not afraid of looking straight at the code, but I sure ould use some generic overview. :)

there is obviously generic information on the concepts in the spec. however, i think you are looking for some high-level documentation on the actual implementation... would that be something like a number "package.html" combined with an archicture drawing of the actual implementation?

if "yes", then i am afraid that does not exist yet, i will try do come up with something, but feel free to take notes while you go through code ;)

I knew I shouldn't have asked that question. :-)
