Maven is an excellent build tool
If you haven't used Maven before, check out some tutorial on http://maven.apache.org. I have contributed a walk through tutorial Wiki on maven site before, and you may read here: http://docs.codehaus.org/display/MAVENUSER/Getting+started+with+Mav...
Also, the Scala programming community has a great Maven plugin support, and with latest release, you may have both Java and Scala sources in the same project and they works very nicely. I have a simple project that you may use as template here: http://sweetscala.googlegroups.com/web/scala-java-app.zip
Just unzip it and cd into the project dir to type:
mvn package, and look into your target dir, you will have a jar file created for you!I am not here to start a war on Maven vs Ant. I think both are great tools, and I use Ant for some project as well. Maven is just another tool in the shed that I like to use, and would like to hear from anyone here who has experience to share.
