I just glanced at Maven, and it looks like the kind of approach I was vaguely envisioning. Perhaps not as ambitious, nor as comprehensive, but potentially useful is Antidote. It's quirky, limitted, and somewhat unpredictable at its current state of development, but is nonetheless useful to a person who finds it easier to comprehend such things as build.xml files when they are represented in a concise visual manner. Having antidote with a built-in default configuration template might be advantageous to the implementors of Maven. I have to admit I speak out of ignorance. I am merely mentioning the tool because I would like to see it grow, and I believe it has a roll to play somewhere in the context of project management and standardization.
