I would like to reiterate the value of Maven support.

I liken Maven to my TiVo.  It is one of those inventions that you don't really 
need, but when you start using it, you realize the benefits.

The main issue with using Maven is that the open-source dependencies are driven 
by a community.  If everyone used/supported Maven, my build and dependency 
management would be much easier.  The main stumbling block with Maven is 
typically when you try integrating projects that don't support Maven.  Simple 
jars (like JDBC drivers) are usually not a problem, but frameworks with lots of 
dependencies (and dependencies have dependencies, etc.) can be awkward.

The Maven user community has grown significantly over the past year, and it 
sounds like it will overtake Ant.

The JBoss Maven2 repository (http://repository.jboss.com/maven2/) is very 
helpful.  Thanks!
