Malte,
Great points.
File a few JIRA issues describing the problems that you are finding.
That way they will get on the list of things to do.
I think that you might find some of the books are free in their
electronic formats but are not free if you want paper.

Yes, but it doesn't go into enough details.
The *free* books do.
This actually surprised me. Free?
Looking at the "Books and Resources" page more closely, I found but
*one* book that is free, namely the "Better Builds with Maven" (2006,
covers Maven 2.0.4 - i.e., rather old).
For all the other books, there are Amazon (and similar) links.
If these other books are also freely available, this should certainly
be put forward more clearly on the page, with appropriate links.
Apart from the books, the "Books and Resources" page links to a
plethora of articles on this and that about Maven. But that is not
what you'd call a structured introduction to Maven, let alone a
"book". (Well, at least, that's not where I'd go digging if I wanted
to find out more about, say, the build lifecycle. I'd go to the Guides
index in that case. At least that's sorted by category.)
On a sidenote, I also noticed that the page links to "JavaBlackBelt's
Maven Exam" on javablackbelt.com under "Miscellaneous on Maven".
However, javablackbelt.com does not exist anymore [1], and the "Maven
Exam" link is dead. [2]
