One of the things that does really help w/ developers who use Jbuilder or Eclipse is to provide a good reason why the Maven build must work. I find that as you integrate extra steps like xdoclet or database generation, tools like Maven become more useful. Also, if you have a continouse integration tool like cruisecontrol doing your builds and running the unit tests, then having a tool like Maven or Ant is crucial.
