Enhancement: Mavenize Project?

This will change how jenkins needs to run. Not sure how that is setup since I never used jenkins before.

Maven is a extremely powerful and extremely useful build system Very similar to ant. You can even embed ant build functions in it.

Maven can automated dependency management.

Bukkit currently uses maven and has a maven repo we can hook into. All we need to do in a pom.xml is specify the repo to bukkit and the version we want to use and the maven builder will do everything else for you!

After doing some initial research and asking around in the workplace and weighing the complexity versus benefit, I don't see that much benefit. Maven only conveniently auto-updates for other Mavenized projects, otherwise it's just another layer on top of Ant, which already handles URL-based dependencies nicely.
