100% agree. I use Maven in my company and my feelings are :
 - maven just move the problems
 - the idea is cool, the implementation not
 - the plugins are not very well standardized
 - you'll have to rework some of the default plugins anyway to do what you want (the plugin itself or through a maven.xml file (kind of ant)

Actually it's quite easy to fix considering we're using a standardized thirdparty structure and naming convention (i did that for maven)

Plus, the automatic eclipse3 build don't really like some maven actions
