1. It will make deploying to central easier (as ivy does not deploy correct poms, and maven-ant-tasks can generate correct poms) 2. _You_ seemed to think it would be better keeping all the version information in build.xml rather than in a separate file 3. You seemed to think it might be a good idea when you saw the mavebn-ant-tasks stuff for deploying to central There's probably some more but those are the main drivers from my perspective. Note Maven-Ant-Tasks is not Maven... it provides essentially the same functionality as ivy only targetted exclusively at Maven repositories... (which are the only really repository format (other than p2) to take off) -Stephen
