My one maven experience was extremely... slow. I wanted to try out Apache ServiceMix and it required maven to build an eclipse project. Following their instructions, I kicked off maven and then waited what must have been an hour for it to collect all the dependencies and put everything together into a project that I could import into eclipse. It worked, but didn't leave me terribly impressed.

It IS a tame beast if no problems of some sort occur. But then again when is this the case?

Using maven feels a bit like being on a lovely but narrow garden path (with all the beer and fermented shark you could ever want) through hell. If you diverge off the path (break maven conventions) then it's not a good place to be, but if you stay on the path then it's quite good. The neat thing I like is being able to go to Eclipse -> Import Project and it takes-up your project with dependencies.
