I'm not sure how it was generated, but a version of build.xml was 
checked in a few hours ago into commons-vfs... one that works!

Right answer!

My long term vision is that some sort of minimal core of maven be built, 
followed by components that are normally built using maven being built 
using the version of maven that was just built.

This will require some cooperation as I would like such builds to also 
use the latest version of all dependencies instead of the ones the 
version that the developer declared.  There will also be ordering 
dependencies to deal with.

But that is long term.  If we work together and get one or two 
additional projects to build a week, I'll be pleased.

Note: after tomorrow, I'm going offline until Sunday.

Nope, that was a pure Gump bug.  Triggered by the begin and end tags of 
the nag entry being on separate lines - perfectly legal, but never 
encountered before.
