Graeme Rocher answered my previous post. He strongly believes that maven will be replaced by Gant, Raven or Buildr.

I decide to learn about all them to see their features. Maybe I could find something better than Maven, something that justify expecting the replacement. But as soon as I started to evaluate the solutions I verified that some of then cannot be compared to maven. Gant is much more close to Ant than to Maven. A lot of people think of maven as a replacement for ant, for them they are equivalent tools with different approaches. They are not equivalent tools, actually maven is a different category of tool. So I think is a good idea to explain what is this "different category".
