I really don't like to use Maven. The problem is it will download the whole world into my computer. I believe in order to do a build you needed to be connected to the internet as well (pls correct me if I am wrong).
Having said that we need something that works well on every OS. The current solution is not quite there. But I don't think the answer is Maven. All though the tool chain is downloaded outside of the checkout, it still does download a whole lot more.
