Maven2 is atrocious for big Java projects. Lots of people have had the same experience you mentioned. In fact the first few lines of the readme on my clojure pom project on github says "Dont run away with your hair on fire" :) Give it a try. It is really simple.
I think I'll give Ant + Ivy another run tonight. I truly am after the best KISS dependency/package management solution and not trying to push maven.
