Don't. Just don't. All you really need to know about maven, and it's role, is 
what you can get from wikipedia. Seriously. Then click around on related 
articles. If you need more than that then lein will have failed (miserably) -- 
but my experience with lein is pretty good. When you know that lein cannot do 
what you need (which may well be never) then it'll be time to look into maven.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Apache_Maven

The trick is to get lein installed the first time. This might take a bit of 
work if you haven't already got a machine setup for command line based 
development. (That's important by the way: *command line* -- even if you intend 
to always use IntelliJ or some other IDE)

I completely sympathize with your situation. I've seen this a lot, and 
experienced it myself when starting from a fresh machine. It's very difficult 
to give instructions because of the wildly differing starting points.

Good luck, but you'll get there :-)

Cheers,
Bob
