Maven provides similar functionality as rubygems, e.g. http://mvnrepository.com/artifact/junit/junit this could mean we can write an import command that fetches=20 dependency info from maven. It looks like we can tell maven to find jars on the local=20 system. Jars we have built already. So we can use it as a=20 build system. I think that is a prerequisite. Even so, getting all these jars built is going to be quite a job... Pj. --=20
