Hi there, Maven2 works really great as a project build tool for us. I have written a tutorial at my company for all Maven newbies, and I hope it can benefit other who is struggling on how to get started. The tutorial is very short, and it walks through a real simple java project from creating it from scratch to all the way on deploying and releasing it. It also has a small webapp application walk through as well.
The tutorial is on Maven wiki: http://docs.codehaus.org/display/MAVENUSER/Getting+started+with+Maven2+-+complete+projects+walk+through Enjoys, -Zemian Deng
