Any thoughts? My vote is to drop support for 1.6.5 and move to 1.7 and

I'm a bit leary of maven2. I know that everyone and his dog is leaving ant,
and feel I may have to do that as well at some point, but it seems maven is
a pain to work with should one deviate from The One True Way. Having said
that, I'm not going to quit the project should everyone decide maven's the
way to go, and who knows? I may become a maven convert if/when the
conversion happens. :P
