I'll take a quick pass at this section in the next few weeks. I think the reasoning here is that this could very easily diverge even though OSX, and the BSDs all use ports. Linux uses RPM and a bunch of these distributions might (hopefully) get in gear one day and bundle this thing correctly.

I fixed this in the upcoming 0.2 of the complete reference (the book's name changed... among other things)

Tim O'Brien replied on November 14, 2009 20:02 to the problem "Typo in Example 4.6. Simple Weather's Main Class" in Sonatype:

Ok, found it, and fixed it. This will be available in the upcoming 0.2 release of Maven by Example. Here's the JIRA issue:

Tim O'Brien replied on October 19, 2009 16:45 to the problem "M2Eclipse is slow!" in Sonatype:

I'd also be interested in know what version of m2eclipse you were running. The latest version of m2eclipse-dev are very fast as they are using the soon to be released Maven 3 as a foundation.

I'd say try again, I'm impressed by how much m2eclipse has improved over the last year.

Wow, I'd be surprised, that particular section has so much attention.... But, I'm always surprised by the typos that survive. I've created a JIRA tasks for this:

Tim O'Brien replied on October 16, 2009 17:41 to the problem "Inconsistency in latest Maven Definitive Guide code examples zip and on-line Maven book." in Sonatype:

John, I believe we address this inconsistency in the 0.8 release.

Tim O'Brien replied on October 16, 2009 17:37 to the question "Checkin multi-module projects with eclipse?" in Sonatype:

Sorry, I guess I'm not clear as to what the question is. Are you wondering how one would check in an entire set of projects to Subversion via m2eclipse?

Tim O'Brien replied on October 16, 2009 17:36 to the problem "The way to use assemblies descriptors is not described" in Sonatype:

Ok, I changed this to a problem and created a JIRA issue to track this: http://www.getsatisfaction.com/sonaty...

Great, I'm tracking this over here: https://issues.sonatype.org/browse/MV...

Tim O'Brien replied on October 16, 2009 16:53 to the problem "(v0.8) Ch3 typos and grammar" in Sonatype:

Alright Grant, you win the prize. I've created another JIRA to track this progress:

Tim O'Brien replied on October 01, 2009 20:17 to the idea "Give back to GNU what belongs to GNU : Linux becoming GNU/Linux" in Sonatype:

Yes, while I'm fine with the standard usage of Linux, I'm also very mindful of the idea that we should do what we can to educate in this case. I will use the term GNU/Linux initially, add a footnote that explains and defines the term, but throughout the book we'll likely stick with the standard usage.

Would that be acceptable?

Tim O'Brien started following the idea "Give back to GNU what belongs to GNU : Linux becoming GNU/Linux" in Sonatype.

But, these fixes were included in the 0.7.3 release:
