How do I build an AMP?

Just Run 

mvn clean package

How do I test the AMP?

You can run Jetty embedded in maven by typing 

mvn clean integration-test -P webapp

Are AMP transitive dependencies supported?

Yes, they are, both from AMP and WAR packaging projects. For AMP projects this will turn out into having a final built AMP which contains all the chain of AMPs the current AMP is depending upon. For WAR projects all AMPs will be unpacked in the proper position same as the MMT would do.

Is MMT needed with maven?

No, it is not. The whole point of it is getting rid of the annoying non integrated in the lifecycle MMT run. We created the maven-amp-plugin for managing and processing AMP lifecycle, making MMT obsolete.
