What I would really like to see is an intro to Clojure that assumes the user doesn't have a background in Java at all. That's been by far the toughest part of using Clojure for me - dealing with things like managing CLASSPATHs and the like.
But, if you must, use Ant and forget about Maven - way more complex than it needs to be. And, again, if dependency management is a must, look at Ivy.
Anyway Sun has some not to horrible articles that explains Java and you might be able to find information there.
In addition, the stackoverflow.com is a great way to ask these kinds of questions since they have a lot of former and current Java developers.
