Even if Jenkins provides natively a Maven builder to use a build step in classical Jenkins jobs (freestyle, ...) this plugin provides a more advanced integration with specific a specific job type providing uniq features like:

• Automatic configuration of reporting plugins (Junit, Findbugs, ...)
• Automatic triggering across jobs based on SNAPSHOTs published/consumed
• Incremental build - only build changed modules
• Build modules in parallel on multiple executors/nodes
• Post build deployment of binaries only if the project succeeded and all tests passed
• ...

See Building a maven2 project for more information on how to use this.
