You are absolutely correct: lots of issues with Maven all the time and it would be really beneficial if various "Lets Get Started" tutorials do not rely on that and rely on Ant only to do everything they need to do.
Ideally all the libraries will come with it too, and if download size is too big then ant's get command is here to resque. It is less sexy than transitive dependencies resolution etc. But it is near bulletproof and it is that doctor is ordered for tutorials. Maven is unstable because of widespread practice of using version ranges for dependencies and plugins and it makes build unrepeatable because build depends on server side. There are pro and contra arguments of course but I think that for Tutorials there are no pro-s in Maven.
