(When it comes to IDEs, though, most of them know about Ant, but don't yet know about Maven at all, so there's not so much of a case for Maven there, IMHO.)
Since you added the OT to the subject line, I feel ok about dragging this on... the beauty of Maven and IDEs is that Maven generates the project for you, for JBuilder, Eclipse, or IDEA. Let's see your Ant do that! :-)
Just kidding. Ant is great, and actually, I think the fact that extending Maven is basically like writing Ant is a feature, not a bug.
Oh yeah, also I can't go back from having versioned JAR in my lib directories. I suspect that's a matter of taste too, but I'll take the overhead of pruning old JARs when new versions are deployed over the mystery of knowing which versions your apps depend on any day...
