Looking for a demo project to present Maven

I'd like to introduce Maven to my fellow coworkers who mostly use Ant to build their projects.

One of 开发者_如何学运维my goal would be to show them the benefit of building a corporate repository to easily share reusable components. But first of all, I need to show them the basics.

I came across this question about presentation materials with a very good answer from Pascal. But I really need a demo project to actually show Maven in action, some sort of toy project, simple but complete enough to illustrate the basics (dependency management, multiple modules, unit testing, profiles, ...).

All what I have so far is a real life project which looks too complicated and noisy to focus on the basics.

I don't expect something complete and I'm ready to modify it to fit my needs. Anything preventing me to start from scratch would be helpful. Please note that I'd be happy to share whatever work I have to do to build this demo.
