I know that your commit doesn't cause any side effects and I appreciate that you are now doing your work in a feature branch. I am asking you to revert that commit to trunk not because its quality is bad or I see potential issues but only because the decision about the official build tool for the project must be taken by the community and we are not planning to maintain more than one alternative options in the official repository. Just to make it super clear, I restate my request: please revert 1674216 (it is the only commit to trunk) then let's continue the work about Maven in the release branch you have created. In the meantime the discussion about "ant vs ant+ivy vs maven vs gradle vs ..." will go on and its outcome will determine the final decision; since there are clearly different points of view for the different tools we all have to be open to consider other's opinions: crystallized positions will not help much in this context. The branch you have created is valuable because it provides a reference implementation for the discussion, but it is important that you appreciate that it may not be merged into the project (based on the outcome of the ongoing discussion).
