Obviously we are far less competent, intelligent, or dedicated then
those other projects. All things I am perfectly willing to accept as
long as you don't make me look at GUMP again.

Just to clarify for the general audience, Maven does not introduce any
of its dependencies into the classpath for a project it is building,
thus there should be noe problems of this sort. Maven also allows your
project to specify dependencies on a specific version of another project
without trouble. There are still some kinks to work out with the
repository and naming and auto downloading and such, but none of what is
outlined here _should_ be a problem.

Yes! All of us over in maven land are big fans of continuous
integration. We were in discussion with the cruise control folks about
working together, and are planning on integrating the best features from
it into maven so that any project with a descriptor can immediately be
set of for continuous integration (since maven supports version control
and unit/integration tests out of the box, this is going to be quite
easy (and fun!) to implement.
