Maven makes it easy

If I ever migrate a project to Maven, I should probably read this article first. It's interesting to note that Maven makes it easy for project management, but not necessarily (??) for building. I know, you'll fire back that it makes it easy to build too - but if you don't have a need to manage your project, maybe you don't have a need for Maven. I find it strange that Maven is a top-level Apache project, and it hasn't even released version 1.0 yet.

Abstract: Even though Ant acts as the de facto standard for building Java programs, in many ways the tool falls short for project management tasks. In contrast, Maven, a high-level project management tool from the Apache Jakarta project, provides everything that Ant offers plus more. Java developer Charles Chan introduces Maven's features and walks you through a complete Maven project setup. [source]

Maven is cool. Maven makes project management easy. Maven makes building easy. But. But you have to understand its more inner workings. But you have to stick to its plugins (i.e. follow the plugins' structure, don't try to abuse those to fit your structure) But you have to document it. So, we're using it in our project. It helps a lot. Before Maven we've been using Ant. Ant makes it easy to get a project started, Maven can keep it alive. Would I recommend Maven in its current state? Nyeah, I'm not sure. If you start a new project, use it. If not, try it. But don't expect too much. Document your tricks and put together a FAQ list. Maven takes quite an effort to get it up and running with an existing project.
