Hi All,
I'm a little late to the party on this discussion. WWDC has kept me
pretty busy.

- add new wizards/templates for creating a suggested WO Maven project
- add some UI guidance to to the relevant properties that will need to
be configured for the Apple provided nightly builds
- present a warning that these are currently NIGHTLY builds and are
under the ADC usage terms
- add some plugins (mojos) that will work well with our suggested file
system layout

I wanted to give Maven newbies a window into possible extensions in
the pom and how easy it is to integrate new features into your build
processes. I used the assembly plugin in order to give people an idea
about how to create split installs using standard maven components.
The deploy.xml is relatively transparent in what it's doing. I threw
in other things such as javadoc generation, unit test reporting,
etc. I could have made it a bare bones pom.xml but this was more
about guidance.

I don't think we are going to create a commercial plugin if that's
what you're getting at.

The nightly builds will be released in Maven repository form. I don't
see any other simple mechanism to easily deliver this. Maven does
this so cleanly.
