It would be *really* great in having Gump use Maven directly for builds.
Currently a refactoring of Gump made in Python is almost ready and works 
like a charm, so help there is appreciated.

In any case, here are the major issues to be solved:

1 - Maven needs to be given the jars by Gump and not download them
2 - Gump needs to understand the Maven descriptor

That's all IIUC.

If you are knowledgeable of Maven and want to help, pop into 
gump@jakarta.apache.org and we'll see that your efforts can be made to 
good use :-)

Nicola,

You beat me to it, I was preparing a similar mail -- see the Maven and Gump
lists.
