I'm trying to clear away free time in my schedule to begin assisting in rounding out the unit tests to try to achieve 100% code coverage. Since it's been awhile i decided to start with a clean slate. One of the things I had noted back late last year was that the process of building the project from the POM in Eclipse had a couple of hiccups on configuration that were solvable by letting Eclipse "auto fix" it, which unfortunately changed the POM file. I just wanted to report that I was able to build a fresh workspace, import the Maven project with the POM and everything worked right out of the gate. I didn't see any specific changes to address that, but whatever happened between then and now it's working great!
Now onto the tests...
