Yes. I just wasted an hour fiddling with the main [math] build trying to get it to work under JDK 1.5 so I could just run the tests. Adding more unseen cruft to builds is to be avoided unless really necessary. Honestly, a simple build.xml would be way easier for people actually wanting to compile the examples to use. <rant>About 45 minutes in, I realized why I hate the way we use maven. We seem to want to create these monstrous "push one button" things when what we need are small, sharp tools. I really wish there were a way to get to a well-factored, cleanly integrated set of build scripts / tools instead of the morass of visible and hidden xml that is our pom structure. I would never design anything as convoluted as the pom structure of math + commons parent + apache parent + maven land as a solution to a programming problem. But we seem to want to just keep piling more stuff into it.
