It's a console app. You call it and it builds "stuff", much like Ant does. I don't really know much more than that right now, though, so no complicated questions please.:)
(Oh, and that "screenshot" is messed up, I had to add a "." to make sure it stayed indented properly, Slashdot messed it up otherwise.)
Erm... so you didn't really read the page huh? Maven is a project automation tool, not a build automation tool. You configure it to do (continuous) builds, but also to do documention, collaboration etc.
I guess I shouldn't be too surprised, I wasn't on the bandwagon either until I actually used it for a project.

So instead of spending time writing scripts and configuring your make files, you spend that time configuring Maven?
Got it.
