Which maven target are you trying to build?
eg "maven jar", "maven dist", "maven site"?

Some targets do need commons-build to be present as a "sibling"
directory to the one that you are trying to build (commons-validator in
this case). These targets are mostly the ones related to building
website stuff, as commons-build has the common stylesheets etc. However
it is expected that only the project maintainers will need to do these
tasks.

The target "maven jar" should not need commons-build. This target will
create the .jar files needed to *use* validator. And this is the default
target.

If you do want to build the related website, commons-build is in the
subversion repository along with all the other commons stuff.
