Ben, Last time I checked (which was a couple of weeks ago) the documentation online was still aimed at version b4 of maven. Maven b5+ is totally different than b4. If you have maven installed try running maven -g to get a list of goals that you can run. Then you can run a goal by just typing maven <goal-name>. It works very well. Ant is no longer used to interface to maven, its all done through the maven executable maven.bat (on windoze)which then initializes the plugins (which are written using jelly and Java) and then runs your goal.
