> Remove dependency on Maven Ant Tasks

> Apache Cassandra depends on Maven Ant Tasks (MAT) during build, for declaring
> dependencies and generating POM files from within build.xml. MAT has long
> been retired (no commits since maintenance in 2015), has registered CVEs in
> dependencies (CVE-2017-1000487), and encourages migration to its successor,
> Maven Artifact Resolver Ant Tasks (MARAT).
> As part of CASSANDRA-16391
> <https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CASSANDRA-16391>, mck migrated
> dependency resolution to MARAT, but MAT is still included in our build for
> generating POMs since MARAT does not have an alternative to the writepom task
> provided by MAT. I have a patch ready that removes MAT completely, with a
> workaround for POM generation.
> I am not advocating for any kind of migration away from Ant to an alternative
> like Gradle or Maven, just to be extra clear.
