Matthias, I've been using Maven for a couple months now and I think it's great. I moved our entire Ant build structure to Maven. It saves a lot of the headache of writing the same build files over and over again. Just a write a plugin for maven (or use one already there) and you can have a resuable maven goal (same as an Ant task) which you can reuse...much easier than trying to call a task common build file. I also love how it handles dependencies since you don't have to setup your classpath directly and you have the dependency in one location (the local maven repository). The maven plugin which generates documentation is great too...I use it to automate our nightly documentation builds. In my opinion I think it would be great to move the build system from Ant to Maven for the AndroMDA project...it would make the build system easier to manage (when adding new cartridges, documentation, etc.).
