This is part of it. A common development environment, development
strategies, tools for publishing your site, metrics and massive building
including the idea of continuous integration.

Not sure what you mean here. The jar files pulled down via http are
defined in the project.xml file in the <dependencies> section.

Ok, do you have a use case for this? Suggestions with examples would
help elucidate your point.

The structure will be the same for all projects so that someone who is
familiar with one 'mavenized' project will be familiar with all
'mavenized' projects. The goal is to try and unify all aspects of
development and this includes the project structure.

We will eventually have tools to help people migrate their projects. I
really don't see having a set structure as being that terrible.

I'm not counting on Maven being very popular with other Jakarta
projects. I just wanted to try this with Turbine first.
