    Andrus did what I want to do today. :)

    Just one more tip: If you want to use Maven just because of the way
    Apple is providing nightly builds, don't do that. You will have a lot
    of trouble if you don't agree with the Maven concepts to manage and
    organize projects.

    Cheers,

    Henrique
