Thanks,
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.
