It's the standard Java build tool at this point. I don't know of anything better.

I don't know about "better" but Maven has been the standard in my company. Personally, I like it better, call me crazy.

For Android developers and ex-Ant users only.

I really don't see it anywhere else to make it standard, besides it depends on Maven Central.

Maven is the standard build tool and has been on every project I've worked on outside of play/sbt hell.
