You might also look at Apache Ivy, which seems to be a lighter-weight version of Maven. I just used it for the first time today, and it's downloading a bunch of dependencies for me right now. Looks good! But I don't know anything about it, really. My general perception of the Java ecosystem though is that Maven is just plain going to be required for some projects, even if you hate it. Ant+Ivy seems like it might be an alternative for projects you control. http://ant.apache.org/ivy/
