  I've just witnessed several experienced developers at work have their projects delayed by weeks, as they are converting to Maven. Not in one big go. Just the continual rounds of “why is the build broken now?” adding up. To me, the benefits don't seem to outweigh the flaws.

    I think converting would be difficult. I am starting from scratch though so I don't anticipate those bumps.
