In our department, we use Maven (v1.0 currently) to do continuous integration builds and a few will use it to do builds on their own machines but most do their own builds using an IDE and use Maven only to update dependencies as necessary.
We don't do separate nightly builds--only continuous builds. I'm not sure what you mean by "source references in your IDE". If you're referring to where the IDE gets the source for a particular project, then this comes out of source control like any other project (i.e. Maven isn't affecting the source at all). If you're referring to where the IDE finds a particular project's binary dependencies, then the IDE refers to these in the user's local repository (we use the IDEA and Eclipse plugins to generate the projects, and they create the references automatically). If you're referring to where the IDE finds the source code for a particular project's binary dependencies, then we haven't really addressed this problem. Users can access the source code for other projects within our department from source control. With Maven 2 we were hoping to make source references like this work more automatically (there's ways to make it work better in Maven 1, but we haven't wanted to invest much time into making M1 work better while trying to move to M2).

Suppose you got nightly builds as well as CI builds, to which sources would you link the project to you are currently working on? The snapshot build from last night? The latest result of the CI build? Not use Maven (repository) at all for that because you check integration whithin your IDE, using checked-out sources of the dependen projects? I'm really curious to know how others solved that...
