Just out of curiosity, did you try using Maven for more than
building? As I see it, the killer application is the development
environment intergration combined with release management and
dependency automation. These are the features that I hope will bring
people to the dark side.
I ended up doing other stuff this weekend. Will give it another try
the next.

My investigations into maven2 have led me to similar conclusions that
other's seem to have expressed: great tool, looks perfect for people
starting from scratch - solves lots of problems, most of which we've
already solved other ways ... training users to use the maven ways
instead
of our existing ways probably isn't worth what little benefit is left.
I think the best idea might be to start by pursuing the maven Antlib
Michael Wechner mentioned, to deal with the fetching dependencies
needed
by contribs and publishing release jars to the maven repository --
using a
new pom.xml to declare the project metadata and dependencies (which
according to the docs can be accessed from the build.xml as
properties)
that sounds like it would be a good starting point towrads "fixing"
some
of the biggest percieved advantages to using maven -- and might
serve as a
good gateway to migrating the whole build process later.
: very much agreed, whereas as an alternative one might want to use
:
: ant + http://maven.apache.org/ant-tasks.html
: (maven-artifact-ant-2.0.4-dep.jar)
