The highly-touted features of Maven, namely the auto-resolution of 
dependencies across the Internet, are confusing enough.  Add the pom.xml 
spaghetti perpetrated by the same numb-nuts who write spaghetti code and your 
situation gets pathetic indeed.

I'm on a project now with Maven builds that we inherited from such 
incompetents.  I've been part of an effort that's so far taken eight months to 
resolve the build issues.  It's a combination of bad project organization and 
Maven abuse (with a liberal dose of framework [Spring, et al.] abuse).  The 
trouble is you change something in one module (with its own pom.xml) and it 
breaks something in another related module.  And that one only had ten 
pom.xmls at its peak, down to seven thanks to our efforts.

Best of luck.
