Maven. Maven 1.0 beta 5 has been released. Maven is a funky tool that simplifies the life of Java developers. [james strachan's musings]

Aye, he be speaking the truth.

I used Maven on a little projectlet I'm playing with and it did all the boring work for me. All I did was create two source directories (one for production code - other for unit tests), a single index.xml documentation page and a project descriptor - and it magically produced this.

Given how much time I typically spend playing with build files, documentation, test/code reportings, etc, this was a major timesaver.
