Carl Johansson commented on MNG-808:
------------------------------------

These days screencasts seem to be quite popular. Perhaps showing how to setup a simple project and to convert an existing Ant-or-whatever based build configuration? Also, I think it would be good to show off all the compatibility with current tools (frameworks, report tools, IDEs etc) Maven has.
