For too long, developers have worked on disorganized application projects, where every part seemed to have its own build system, and no common repository existed for information about the state of the project.

Good explanation of what's going on in Maven. Code samples are horrible unfinished. Many won't work without some tweaking. You can get the code samples either from downloading the sample code as a whole zip file archive, or you can get each example on a case by case basis with the maven archetype
The solution is not to avoid the use of the archetype -- that is a core tool to learn for using maven. The solution is to just fix them each time. No fun, but a not without out learning opportunities.
Again, the book is well written and provides a good introduction to a key Java developers tool. It's unfortunate the sample code doesn't work out of the box.

I'm not sure, but I think you can generally fix the broken code produced by the archetype by comparing it to the code from the archive.The solution is not to avoid the use of the archetype -- that is a core tool to learn for using maven.
