Heya, I have limited amount of experience with Maven, but I'm willing to help out here if we decide to go to maven.
@David, This is a good place to get started: http://www.sonatype.com/index.php/Support/Books/Maven-The-Complete-Reference This helped me a lot when I was converting projects from ant to maven.
