I wouldn't think this is an argument for Maven though... I mean, as an example:

* Download Java Web Parts and extract the source distribution
* Install Java and set JAVA_HOME
* Install Ant and set ANT_HOME
* Change to Java Web Parts /web-inf/src folder in the source distribution
* $ ant

Better still, if you extracted to /tomcat/webapps, you can start it up at this point and your running, on your way to becoming a JWP contributor :) Want to use an IDE? No problem (I set it up in IDEA last night).

What I mean is, your 100% right, it *is* very easy with Maven... I got Struts to built pretty easily, my biggest problem as I recall was needing to set the proxy settings to get to the repository to download dependencies... But it's just as easy with Ant, so this scenario, unless I'm missing something, isn't really in eithers' favor :)

As mentioned on the Struts Classic 1.3.0 RP, this is literally all you
will have to do to get a Struts development system running on a new
machine *from scratch*.

 * Download and extract the Struts 1.3.0 source distribution
 * Install Java and set JAVA_HOME
 * Install Maven and set MAVEN_HOME
 * Change to the Struts Build folder in the source distribution
 * $ maven

Garnish with your favorite container and IDE, and, shazzam, you're on
your way to becoming a Struts contributor.

'nuff said. :)
