If you are the lead developer on a big project, and you want your developers to not hate everything about this project, for the love of God please at least have a build server (it doesn't even have to run tests) and make sure your constant screwing around with Maven doesn't break the build for everyone else.

The worst thing about not having a build server is when someone does break the build, it's always "oh, you just need to do [ten minutes of them flailing around with Eclipse]. See? Your system is weird. Worked fine on mine."

No way to objectively verify that, no, it is their cacophony of a build system that is fucked.
