Build Tools - An incomplete paradigm - part 2

I am in the midst of making my build system for the saltations project usable by everyday developers. i.e. I am working to make it a turnkey system and in the process came across this entry in Kent Spillner's blog and nearly split my side laughing.

I don't know is he meant it to be funny but it was an accurate summation of most of my complaints about Maven and I liked his expression of it:

Ah, well, back to work.
