I've been experiencing Maven hell for a couple years now. I think
we're over 1000 poms in a build which developers are expected to do
before each checkin. The automated build machine does that 1000 pom
build daily (or more) as well. Maven is the main driver of the build.
The build includes Java, C++, various in-house code generators, /and/
some Eclipse plugin build stuff which is cobbled together with some
rather poor scripts. Feel my pain.
