I'm +1 on the -1 on maven. We've had many bad experiences with maven in
the past. It's basically impossible to produce repeatable builds with
maven for many well documented reasons that I won't recount.
In general I would prefer to avoid adding more build technologies into
the mix for qpid unless it is *absolutely* necessary. We already have
ant, nant, autotools, cmake, make, rake, distutils, and various shell
scripts already required to actually produce something useful from our
source code. Let's not make this picture any worse.

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.

I wanted to make it easy for anyone to build the documentation, which
requires a certain version of docbook, docbook-xsl, and Apache FOP version
0.95 (earlier versions were not anywhere near as good).
Building the documentation was the first thing I tried as I dived into Qpid,
and the current build is not really friendly for a Windows user.
If anyone is interested I wrote a short Maven descriptor to build the PDF
and HTML documentation from the Docbook files. It weights less than 3KB and
downloads automatically the complete tool chain (Docbook DTD & stylesheets,
FOP, Saxon, etc)
