Learn to embrace writing maven plugins.

I've written a few maven plugins that are just jython wrappers that import a few flags into the jython script (like the build directory) and then execute them. I've even written a generic python plugin that executes a script at a given path and imports any declared maven variables into it.

Sometimes it feels wrong, I know, but it's worth it.

I also wrote a new site plugin for myself that diffs between versions and throws all that up on a site for a auto changelog thing. It's useful for those rare "What the fuck did you do to the code in this release" occasions.
