I like maven 2. Not sure what all the fuss about it is here. The best
part is you
don't have to check in jars to source repository (i.e. cvs) . It grabs
to from a central repository and places in your local repository. 

when I was getting started with it, this free download (pdf book) was
helpful.

Tim,

you don't depend on your network being up all the time. Every user  
has a local maven repo and typically, you have to do one build to get  
all the plugins. After that you don't need the network. Also running  
with --no-plugin-updates might save you some (failing) lookups.

I remember a colleague of mine complaining about the same thing, but  
he was using maven1. Not sure how that was handled back then.

I switched to maven, because I was tired of wiring the same boring  
ant scripts again and again and again...
