You can use the dependecy mgmt feature of maven without all of its other features. Check out the maven ant tasks. They allow you to get a set of jars using the pom.xml declared dependencies and put them wherever you want. You can then use ant to continue the rest of your build process- build/test/whatever.
No maven straightjacket.
