> the problems arising from Maven also stems from the organization's context.

that's just euphemism for not following maven's conventions, which is where most people's complaint about maven stems from. You either do things the maven way, or the highway. Twisting maven to do what _you_ want, but not how maven likes it is just asking for disaster.

Ding ding ding. "Scripting maven" sounds like a nightmare. And rightly so. (and if I'm scripting a java build process, I'll take a bash script over Any any day of the week.)
