But it's still got a steep learning curve. For me, the usefulness far outweighs the disadvantages. I've not totally drunk the kool-aid. :) If you do look at maven, there are a couple of things to check out. First <a href="http://www.sonatype.com/books/maven-book/reference/" rel="nofollow">Maven: the definitive guide</a> is a good intro text. Secondly, you should install <a href="http://nexus.sonatype.org/" rel="nofollow">nexus</a>. It takes a minute or two and it improves the maven experience greatly. @Chris Winters Maven is definitely better than it used to be. But it’s still got a steep learning curve.

It's useful to get maven info from people not in the maven kool-aid bubble -- the more I see reasonable people using and getting into maven, the closer I'll get to giving it another try. (I was damaged by maven many moons ago...) Thanks for publishing this.
