In my experience, the Maven that comes with Ubuntu is quite old. If it works 
with the LT build, that's great, but in general, I found it a good idea to 
always fetch the latest Maven directly from their website.

The build should be faster if you run "mvn compile". Without having had a look 
at the build, I would expect at least two things to cause: 1) Maven (like ant) 
is a Java application and it takes a moment to fire up the JVM. "make" is a 
native application. 2) The "package" goal always runs the full packaging 
(building of ZIPs and JARs from the compiled sources). So even if the compile 
is up-to-date, doing the packaging takes a moment. If further plugins, e.g. 
JavaDoc, have been activated during normal builds, they may further slow down 
the build.
