When I try to build the latest trunk with maven 3.0.3 the build fails, but it works fine with maven 2.2.1. The build log:
D:\Work\development\insemtives>mvn clean install -Dmaven.test.skip=true
[INFO] Scanning for projects...
[WARNING]
[WARNING] Some problems were encountered while building the effective model for org.insemtives:annotation-api-functional-tests:jar:1.0-SNAPSHOT
[WARNING] 'build.plugins.plugin.version' for org.apache.maven.plugins:maven-surefire-plugin is missing. @ line 36, column 12
[WARNING]
[WARNING] It is highly recommended to fix these problems because they threaten the stability of your build.
[WARNING]
[WARNING] For this reason, future Maven versions might no longer support building such malformed projects.
