If possible you can generate the ant script with maven so you won't have to manually maintain it (It is already done like that in
jakarta commons).
If you want, you can commit it on SVN and ant users will able to build jars and run tests.
I'm generally opposed to committing any generated files to the SVN repository, as it always becomes confusing.

This is what I don't understand. Maven just isn't hard to install. You download it, you run it. The first time, it takes a while while it retrieves a bunch of dependencies. If you're Wendy, you have some headaches because of your IT environment ;-) but really, why is it intimidating? Just because less books have been written about it than Ant?
I'm fine with people not *liking* Maven -- but I don't know why they should be any more afraid of it than of any other third-party executable that they could download, Ant included.
