The simplest thing is to create a module 'core' and simply move 
everything we have now (including cli and ant) into that module. You can 
then start committing the Maven plugin into a different module, so we 
end up with two multiproject modules, 'core' and 'maven'.

I'm not convinced anyway that it makes sense to have cli and ant in 
different packages: the jar would basically consist of one class file... 
If someone disagrees we can do further split-up later.

We simply need to agree on the timing of the module restructuring move, 
so the files are not moved away under our feet when Simon or I have 
uncommitted changes.

Vincent, please tell us when you have the time to actually make that change.
I've started to implement checking of method exceptions, but these are 
only minor changes.
Simon, do you have uncommitted changes on your hard drive?

Thanks for resending, I never saw the original email. Regarding the 
multiproject build, everything is clear now, and yes, the cactus/eclipse 
page you refererred to is what I meant.

I can understand your frustration, and I think we should start using 
multiproject next weekend (or earlier if everyone agrees - Simon, please 
speak up).
