I managed to make everything compiles and JAR created, but am seeing test failures. It seems like the Jrunit configuration in pom.xml is incorrect. I disabled all tests temporarily in pom.xml. To run tests, you can run 'ant run-tests' and 'ant run-performance-tests' as usual.

To build a distribution (zip), run 'ant distr' as usual. I didn't mavenize packaging yet, and I'm not sure if it is even necessary at this point. Let's revisit this issue when we fix the jrunit issue.

To build a JAR, run 'mvn package'. The resulting JAR file will be located in the ${basedir}/target directory. Clebert, could you make sure the generated JAR contains the correct stuff? If so, we can proceed to tagging and artifact deployment.

I also made some path changes in build.xml - all intermediary build files are located in the target now instead of the 'build' directory, following Maven convention.
