I'm building a tutorial for a Java library. There's a really easy way to get started with Maven + Eclipse, but I'm not sure I can assume the majority of the people following this tutorial will have Maven setup. So, I'm curious, what percentage of the Java world uses Maven to manage their projects?

The Need for MavenMaven is chiefly used for Java-based projects, helping to download dependencies, which refers to the libraries or JAR files. The tool helps get the right JAR files for each project as there may be different versions of separate packages.
Maven is a build automation tool used primarily for Java projects. Maven can also be used to build and manage projects written in C#, Ruby, Scala, and other languages.
You can use maven-exec-plugin to execute python script using maven.
By default, maven local repository is user_home/m2 directory. Central repository- The central Maven repository is created Maven community. Maven looks in this central repository for any dependencies needed but not found in your local repository.
If your library is not Maven centric i will prefer a build-tool agnostic tutorial and optional an appendix that may explain usage of your library in the specific environments (Eclipse, Netbeans, Ant, Maven, ...).
