I got bitten by this too, just today, on updating from 1.4.1 to 1.4.3 (so much
for point releases being for minor changes.)

1. If a build doesn't work, it shouldn't be in the repository.

2. Please don't switch build systems in a minor release. The directories got
rearranged too, which was hell for merging in our local changes.

3. Maven sucks. I think most people are probably going to agree with me in
this, because every new staff member who joins our company makes the same
comment sooner or later, on encountering some third party project where we are
forced to use it just to build a jar file.

4. Even though Maven sucks, you can use this:
http://maven.apache.org/plugins/maven-ant-plugin/
It can be used to create a usable Ant build script from your POM files, thus
containing the Maven cancer to only afflicting the people who are forced to
work on the project directly.
