I will wrap up my contribution to this thread with an amusing story ... just so you know you are not alone.
When I first started with the GeoTools community they ad 1.5 build process; an ant build process which hated me; and a maven 1 build which was supposed to work. And I was to shy to complain bitterly! (good thin you are not so shy Landon) Every day for a month I would run cvs and grab the latest and then run maven 1 did we mentioned that maven 1 was almost a proof of concept of this repository idea indeed I am not sure it was ever supposed to be used it used like 5 internal scripting languages; some of them like velocity seemed to be devoted to making web pages rather than building files In any case I would try a build every day, and get the same failure. Eventually I asked; and the answer was .... ... it always fails the first time; you have to run it twice. WTF? Needless to say working on the developers guide became my first contribution.
