Oh ...please don't!
All I have to say: dependency management plus the reports are just
enough for me to never want to switch back to ant again. Even from
m1! Worst case I was always able to come up with some non-standard
goals-magic to do what I wanted.
My 2 cents

That wasn't Stephen Colebourne's comment, it was originally mine :-) I
just did a release, my first in over a year, and man, was it annoying.
But I wasn't completely serious. Maven allows us to produce a much
nicer site with more functionality - no doubt about it. However, there
are more steps now, more things to keep track of, more things to go
wrong. And my comment sparked quite a lot of thread. My real thoughts
are that it is now time to tighten up the jakarta-commons standard and
documentation for maven use so that there are fewer of these manual
extra steps that need to be done for every release.
This is how this starts: Someone comes up with a neat idea and adds a
manual step to the process to do that. Often, but not always, this gets
documented. Better yet would be if it could get automated.
