Please, for the love of all that's holy, no. I work with maven in my job. It's the most horrible misbegotten misdesigned piece of hideousness I've ever had the misfortune to work with. I'm not alone in that opinion, either -- pretty much everyone I know who's used it has the same opinion. I recently spent some time tracking down a build failure in our automated build system. It was eventually traceable to some component of maven -- still ostensibly the same version as the previous week -- changing under our feet in an incompatible way, so it decided to reject a configuration that had previously functioned correctly. This is not the only problem we've had with it. It has a track record of being awkward and/or broken in ways that are not obvious, and it is almost completely opaque when you come to try and debug them. Please, please, stick to make.
