For what it is worth I can personally tell you that we (MyBatis.org) team are working hard to achieve this same goal. We now have around 6 sub maven project along with the core maven project. It has really helped us deliver faster and more stable releases. It has also allowed us to engage more people from the community to help with development. I would love to see the Stripes community follow suit.
Just last week I was trying to find where the unit tests for Stripes were located. To my surprise they are not in the core module. I also just spent a few minutes trying to find the maven page on the website, which I have found in the past, and I can't seem to find it again. I would love to see something as simple as http://code.google.com/p/mybatis/wiki/DocMavenTutorial. For those that are still using Ant you really just need to give it a try. I honestly have never seen someone who gives maven a try for their build process ever go back to Ant. For a product who believes in convention over configuration I really think it is a perfect fit for Stripes. I am offering up any help or advice that you may need from myself or the MyBatis team.
