If you can demonstrate how switching to Maven will be better, then I am all ears.

There needs to be an incentive to go up the Maven learning curve and I haven't seen one yet. > I prefer speaking with facts and I love doing Maven reconstructions. > Since Apache lets us use Git, though in a read-only way, and since I use > and love Tomcat, I think that it's worth a try. You are, of course, free to take a look at this. It might be more productive to try and make the case for Maven before doing that work.
