Maven 2 migration surprisingly painless

I just finished my CORM project build migration to Maven2. It was surprisingly painless. The POM structure is very intuitive, and the stripped down nature of the existing CORM build helped out quite a bit. Major kudos go out to Wendy Smoak at the Codehaus for answering a couple of questions for me related to the multiproject functionality and building a new POM for the JScience.org project jar.

I think I'll wait a day or two and check with the other developers before I junk the old maven 1.x build for CORM. This should help us achieve container-driven testing in OpenEJB and get us out of servlet hell for the rest of the entity component library development cycle. I'm psyched.

Thanks again, Wendy ;-)

Is a JScience distribution available from a central repository yet?

No, it is not, unfortunately. The pain of this is somewhat abrogated by the fact that JScience.org is useless for persistence. The library is a hopeless tangle that not only mangles precision numeric computation, but avoids separating the concerns of its components with an almost sagelike capacity for foolishness. I've resolved to abandon its use as soon as possible, and the next version of CORM will include a new basis for quantitative metrics that is small, persistence-capable, easier to use, and more extensible than JScience.
