I installed Maven beta 4. But I'm still not sure what is expected to 
happen by the build-maven.xml script.

when I call ant -f build-maven.xml, the script executes several 
(Torque)-tasks sucessfully:
prepare-tests:
project-sql-classpath:
project-create-db-classpath:
project-datasql-classpath:
project-insert-sql:

Then it reaches the target maven:jar which fails with the following error:
maven:jar:

BUILD FAILED

/home/tom/ojb-1-0/build-maven.xml:139: Target `jar' does not exist in 
this project.

I don't know if this expected!

I also don't know how I can use Maven to generate html documentation 
(and the website) from the xdoc that Martin provided!
I tried several things like:

ant -f build-maven.xml maven:docs
Buildfile: build-maven.xml

maven:docs:

BUILD FAILED

/home/tom/ojb-1-0/build-maven.xml:154: java.io.FileNotFoundException: 
/home/tom/ojb-1-0/build-docs.xml (Datei oder Verzeichnis nicht gefunden)

I really would appreciate to use the new layout Martin showed under:
http://jakarta.apache.org/~mpoeschl/ojb.
But I did not find any means to build it.
(Building HTML doumentation is somewhat urgent for me, as I want to work 
on the documentation a lot for the 1.0 release.)

Once we can do everything with Maven and Torque, what we have been doing 
with my old ant script and our db-setup.sql, we should of course use it.
But we should wait with dropping the old stuff until the new scripts are 
working without problems.
