After spending a couple of months in Forced Maven Camp, I tend to agree on that 
point (being a "convention over configuration"-kind of guy). Yes, Maven looks a 
little daunting at first, but once you get used to it (which happens fast), 
life gets pretty good. Want to use a jar file? Just add a couple of lines to 
your pom. Want to upgrade 3rd party jar files automatically when a new releases 
is made? Use wildcards in minor version numbers.

Not to mention you get a ton of free functionality and plugins for the build 
and testing processes - it's what happens when you standardize stuff.

All in all, it's pretty sweet.
