I didn't read Arthur's post as arguing against Maven but rather just requesting some background and justification so all us Maven neophytes will understand the benefits Maven will bring to Woden.
From your post I now know about the following benefits:
1. it can automatically pull down all your dependencies - sounds good to me
2. it'll generate your entire site for you - cool
3. all the other WS projects use it - that means its easy for others (such as Axis2) to pull down Woden artifacts via Maven. (convenient and consistent) - I think an excellent reason indeed
As I said in another post, I'm in favour of this move and appreciate Chinthaka's offer to move Woden's build onto Maven.

Are you seriously arguing against using Maven for Woden??
Simple benefit: it can automatically pull down all your dependencies.
Plus it'll generate your entire site for you.
Plus, all the other WS projects use it - that means its easy for others
(such as Axis2) to pull down Woden artifacts via Maven. Strictly
speaking that itself doesn't require Woden to use maven but its still
convenient and consistent.
