Getting things to build with maven's idea of a build process has traditionally been tough, but it's pretty good for auto-downloading dependencies. Usually I needed a shell script that had maven download some, then wget'd a few more (that, for licensing reasons, couldn't go in an upstream server).

Unless a slightly-customized maven is distributed, you'd have to put a ~/.m2/settings.xml in the new-user template that specified your local repository. Which isn't too bad.

Apache Ivy is another solution for auto-downloading dependencies but plays nice with Ant.
