maven maven maven, that is if all developers all over the world knows what
maven is. Ant was what i first knew until i started hearing maven and infact
it was mainly because of wicket that i learnt maven early before a netbeans
module came out.

so really not all developers will have some patience to first google maven
fundamentals which is why i believe in:

1. Step 1, Install Your IDE (Everybody knows that)
2. Step 2, Install This Plugin (IDEs make that simple)
3. Step 3, Create a new Wicket Project and then BOOM it works without even a
line of code yet (as much as i hated SWT, i learnt it this way)

And lets remember the success of the ASP.NET family, you install Visual
Studio and then BOOM your sample project is ready. Then you see this 2 days
old developer feeling like he can code every website. that "feeling" is the
success of every developer tool and dont let us forget that

The Java community has a plethora of tools but as newer developers come on
board, they need a clean entrance and maven is not what you learn at the
early stage of your developer career (even though its simple to use, infact
simpler than i thought cuz i hated Ant)


My take,

While off course maven is still the used tool, but the community  should
bring the useful IDE plugins to the forefront for starters

Thanks
