Thanks to John Casey from the Maven dev team, our build is now working fine with the latest SNAPSHOT of Maven 2.1 (I've built it on the 30th of Jan 2008, at 9:45 GMT+1). I'll continue to do some testing with it for a while and if all is fine I'll propose a switch to it since it allows us to rejoin the maven dev path and fixes a few of our build issues (custom repos not checked when maven is resolving parent poms, checkstyle plugin not working, etc). -Vincent
