All dependencies are mantained, and with Eclipse you can happily code and
have it compile classes. But if by "build" you mean generating jars and
putting them into the repository, I guess you have to do it with Maven.
A good policy should be to code with the ide, but run a "maven clean install"
before committing to make sure everything works as expected even on the command
line (for example, in a project here we have tests that run fine in Eclipse
but break in maven due to problems in the surefire classloader).

Hum... I don't know. I usually launch maven from the command line for the
builds...
