From what I read (it took me a while), I feel that Stephane will always be
on the rebel side (star wars) or in opposition (politics). I am sure he has
more experience than me in Maven 2 philosophy. But until I learn something
better to manage corporate artifact dependencies (and 3rd party for that
matter), I will continue to learn Maven. I do have a tough skin. I will look
at Ivy also, I am not a religious person.
No other comments...

Not quite true. Look at
http://mvnrepository.com/artifact/org.springframework/spring
<dependency>
<groupId>org.springframework</groupId>
<artifactId>spring</artifactId>
<version>2.0.3</version>
</dependency>
You just have to know the right groupId. Same for Hibernate. The above
search site can help. Manually installing/deploying a jar is a 20 seconds
process. I see no down thumbs in that. A correctly laid out corporate
repository (Artifactory) might help - I am still looking at options.
Having no big projects experience with Maven I can not judge. Personally, I
will walk down the M street for a while - I hope it is not a one way ;-)
Cheers,
Borut
