        Let me know if you want me to do it.  I can start on Thursday.  Also let me know if you want me to do it within trunk/ or in a branch.

         

        BTW, I despised maven the first few months I used it.  The hardest thing to get used to is the fact you can't have one pom.xml to rule them all and have to split things up into modules.  (and also the poort maven documentation).  Now I can't live without it.  There's always voodoo magic when it comes to builds, maven, ant, or whatever, but the structure maven forces you into really helps you think about dependencies and how they are consumed.  It is also a godsend to be able to open a pom.xml through Intellij and have all your classpaths all set up automatically.

        The reason I don't want the guys to do this yet, is we have some really important customer driven HA stuff to be done before August, and that's going to max everyone out.

         

        However, if you're volunteering to do this yourself, independently in a different branch and just merge it back in when you're ready that would be very cool. Although I'm not sure how that will work in practice - I assume source paths will change which will make it very difficult to merge back any changes done to the source in parallel.
