Maven gurus: I'm still finding my way with Maven, and am trying to convert a project from Ant to maven2. The biggest blocker I've found is integration with BIRT. The application I'm converting uses BIRT extensively, but there's 1) no BIRT in the main maven2 repo; 2) BIRT has dozens of un-mavenized dependencies; and 3) the BIRT community seems to have never actually heard of Maven, or reproduceable builds in general.
There is literally *nothing* I've been able to find out there demonstrating any *sane* way of using Maven to build an application using BIRT runtime as a dependency. I'm sure I'm not the first person to have needed to do this, but it sure starting to feel that way... grr.. Any kind soul want to touch this? Thanks! --Ian
