I just finished such a workshop for a company which had an external company setup a project and had been working with Maven as a black box for 4 years. The main intention of the workshop was to teach the developers to understand what's happening in the build. After the workshop the feedback I got was, that I managed to de-mystify the entire build. All of a sudden everything in the build made sense to them.
So these guys will probably never really touch the build, but it helped them understand it. Maven uses an inversion of controll mechanism to build and is therefore completely different to Ant or Gradle. Such a workshop would help understand that and you can't learn that part incrementally.

However, I dearly hope I can learn what I need to know about Maven without blocking out an entire day for it. I really have no desire to be a build engineer or invest that much time in our build processes. And actually, I personally am much better at learning incrementally than by sitting in a workshop. I am hoping folks who know it will lead the way and I can learn by watching and asking questions when I get stuck. Thanks, -Alex
