Just for you to know and think about it... I work in a project with several modules and dependencies... The project was 4 years old when I joined the team (so you can imagine how big the code was) and I soon noticed they were running on serious problems that are easily managed by Maven.
Then I showed the benefits of using Maven focusing on how it would fix the specific problems that were present on our project and I convinced the manager to give me some time to configure Maven... I spent about 3 weeks to make everything work. The result is that the project is now 1 year A.M. (After Maven lol) and people here can't even imagine what it is like to work without Maven.
