Ivy has a dependency reporting tool that looks like it could be helpful 
sorting a project out if it starts to get too messy.  As I mentioned, 
I'm totally new to Ivy and I can't say how well it works, but the 
pictures of the reports Ivy generates sure look nice.

Ivy will also read Maven dependency repositories (I think I said that 
right) so you can still take advantage of Maven dependencies.  Ivy seems 
to be an answer to those who find Maven's actions in response to those 
dependencies a little off.  That feature pages gives some hints about that.
