Best Practice for using maven for web sites
Does anyone have any comments on using Maven to build static web sites.
The graphic artists building our web sites have created massive projects
full of lots of small graphics projects with various versions of things.
It would seem reasonable to create small projects to create individual
assets such as Flash animations, Photoshop collages, etc.
If these assets were held in repo with a version, at least we could find
the "released" assets with a known version.
This would also fit with our Subversion structure a bit better.
The site would then need to be assembled.
Has anyone done this or, conversely, can think of reasons why this would
be more trouble than it is worth.

You can do that. Make sure that your site asset projects produces a zip
artifact. Then those zip artifacts can be unpacked during the pre-site
phase och the projects that depends of those assets.

So use Adobe tools and a VCS.

I am not sure why you want to use Maven for this.
At least a CMS lets you publish your final content where you want.
What do you want Maven to do for you?

Ron-
You should look at the flexmojos project for Flash/Flex specifically.
There are some JavaScript plugins as well.
I think you'll run into some cultural problems, but hopefully that won't
be the case for you.

Not sure what you mean here.
I need an environment that allows the creation of Flash animations using
the Adobe tools, etc. which will create artifacts that can be assembled
into a web site.
Currently we do this manually in a way that is unacceptably unstructured
but does work.
I am not sure where a CMs fits into the scheme.

+1 ;-)
I can't tell you how many times we get teams trying to turn Subversion
and the build process into a CMS
