Back in a previous incarnation, when I first used Java, either there was 
no Maven, or I never learned it. Since I am really busy getting up to 
speed (re-learning Java), may I ask a quick question?

My objective is to become a proficient Sphinx programmer, and this is 
the tutorial:

What is Maven doing for me? Is it some sort of fancy "make"? Perhaps it 
retrieves code (more generally: resources) from Carnegie Mellon? Does it 
make sure to downloads the latest & greatest (like some Microsoft 
facilities?).

TIA,

-Ramon
