+1 for this

I'm surprised Maven can't build a source distribution with a bundled
standard ant build with maven dependency ant task calls. I'd think this
would be a common need.


A lot of Jakarta Commons projects deal with this sort of thing by having a
developer run "mvn ant:ant" to create a build.xml that (in theory at least)
replicates the functionality of the current Maven build environment, and
then check that in.  It seems to work fairly well on simple single module
projects like your typical Commons library ... but I've never tried it in
something as complicated as our build systems.
