Re: Maven port to current version 3

Hi all,

SCB3096: Today I merged our current branch for Maven 3 port back to trunk.

You now will need:
* scarab-maven-plugin installed (extensions directory)
* all patched and licensed libraries installed in your local repo, see=20
www/repository/README.txt
* Maven 3

Ant is not longer supported for building Scarab.

cheers,
Johannes
