Maven2 really is a whole lot better than maven1. It's *much* faster and *much* stabler. It's also the currently supported version. Yes maven can be rather mysterious at times; I'm not convinced it is the best of all build systems. However I can't imagine getting the sort of nice websites we currently have from any other tool without major effort and complexity - at which point we'd all have to learn this new, unique and badly documented system rather than maven. I don't think there's an easy solution to this problem. Probably best to just improve our documentation about how to get Maven to work for us.. There is a nice maven manual available for download called "Better Builds with Maven". See the documentation link on the maven.apache.org site. BTW, I see that Mergere.com (home of many maven developers) is now DevZuz.com. That had me confused for a while..
