Is this a possible direction for maven? Not using system tools to build? Everything needed to build either comes with maven, or thru a plugin? I think this is what ant strives for. a 100% java solution with no external system tool requirements (they wanted to get away from the mess that is make). http://ant.apache.org/manual/intro.html Can we also research a ssh / scp replacement? /* joakim erdfelt - corporate code gorilla - java junkie - maven neophyte */
