    Maven helps with deployment mainly. Its build process also runs any test classes, which the Eclipse build does not. Maven also handles dependencies by itself (most of the time), while Eclipse does not. It also separates the IDE from the project, meaning all members of the development team do not have to all use Eclipse. As long as they are using an IDE which supports Maven, there should be no issue with project building/dependencies, ect. on their individual machines.
