Plus, home and end on the Mac traditionally mean start and end of document, not start and end of line. I've hacked the keymaps of some applications to improve this, but it's not a global solution and it's not good for a programmer.

They can be invoked using the "fn" key and the arrow keys. Page up/down are obvious, left arrow is "Home" and right arrow is "End."

It's okay and has a few nice features, but can be cumbersome and drag a system to a standstill under some circumstances. This looks pretty interesting for personal use, though. We use AlienBrain.

My wife loves her Macbook Pro, but it does help that she's a graphic artist and Macs are very often the choice for them. If it weren't a work-related computer, we'd have either bought a comparable Windows rig for a bunch less, or a better laptop. Well, this must explain why it’s so cold outside! ;)

The plugins used by maven (including the compiler plugin) are prone to be updated in unexpected ways, but yes, you can lock down their version so this doesn't happen. Which projects have used it? A lot of them. It might be easier, however, to instead find out which projects are published as maven artifacts. There are several places to look and search -- maven central is one.

Many resources say that it is temporary, but I'll take it gladly. I haven't had much, luck, however, with the second xbox I've been fiddling with. It had a slightly different problem, and I haven't been able to make it happy yet. Minor update: My xbox is still working, so far, after about 10 hours of use.
