I also agree (it does seem obvious now...)

Thank you for the information :)


I've started working on the plugin, slowly at first as I'm still struggling
with Maven's documentation... For the moment, it's capable of generating an
Emakefile with various user defined options and use it to compile the source
files. Quite dull actually :)
Next step will be packaging, automatically running test cases and generating
the edoc (not necessarily in this order). Then there'll be dynamic code
loading (Cargo really seems a good idea...) and dependencies management
(REPOS is still my only lead).

I've also started an archetype plugin (a special breed of maven plugins used
to set up a typical project, such as web apps, j2ee, etc.). It creates the
project directory structure, along with exemple sources files and a basic
POM file, so you can start coding right away...

I'll let you know when I make significant progress.

Thanks for the help
