Carlos Sanchez gives 5 Maven features which all developers should love. I will be the first to admit that I've never been really fond of Maven. I saw its inception on the Gump mailing lists and then the takeover of the Turbine build system.
I will say though that if more emphasis was put on these five things, I bet more developers wouldn't have quite so bad a taste in their mouth when it comes to Maven. I do disagree with Carlos about not reinventing the wheel though. While these five things are great, they are not enough for me to just throw out my build system and rework it in Maven.
