I just got everything to compile without errors for the first time.

A couple things to mention from my experience.... - I needed to get a couple dependencies not mentioned elsewhere...

They were: jsyntaxpane and the wiz-tools common library.
(eg: jsyntaxpane-0.9.5-b29.jar, wiztools-commons-lib)

- To avoid charset failures in the unit tests, on my windows development machine I added a system environment variable:

JAVA_TOOL_OPTIONS=-Dfile.encoding=UTF8 (And set the pom.xml files accordingly.)

I built with Netbeans 6.8 and the Maven plugin. To save someone a lot of time: -- You MUST get an external binary set of files for Maven. (eg apache-maven-2.2.1-bin.zip) In netbeans you point to the location of the external set under "Tools >> options >> Misc (Icon) >> Maven (tab) >> "External Maven Home".
