Where the heck are project descriptors stored?

Ok, I'm confused about things:

    #1. There are project descriptors stored in Gump.
    #2. There are project descriptors stored in Maven.
    #3. There are project descriptors stored in each project that are read
        by Gump.

WHICH ONE IS ACTUALLY USED?

Jason, it is great that you are doing all this work, but it is terribly
confusing to keep track of everything that you are doing because you do
things in small steps which eventually lead in a totally different direction
than things were previously going.

I will remove those. Sorry.

These are the templates and you don't have to worry about theses ones.

Yes, these are the only ones used. But generated from the project.xml
file.

The ultimate authority is the gump.xml profile. I didn't remove the
one's from the alexandria repository but actually they aren't even
referenced so your changes wouldn't have had any effect. Most of our
turbine descriptors are taken from CVS directory. I forgot to remove the
ones from the alexandria repository. My bad.

My plan was to always use the project.xml file and generate the gump
stuff. I tried didn't methods but I didn't deviate from the goal. It now
works :-)

Just edit the maven project.xml file and the rest will take care of
itself. Once I can get maven to bootstrap in gump, gump itself can do
the tranformation and it will be easier. It will be a while for this to
happen but it will.

Sorry for the confusion. The maven descriptor is the touch stone for the
turbine projects. I will take care of the rest.
