The "net.nicoulaj.maven.plugins:checksum-maven-plugin:1.7" produces a slightly different file format than the one we are currently using - I believe the file contains the checksum only and not the filename or there is an asterisk missing in front of the filename.
I mainly adapted the Ant tasks because that saved me from having to understand in which order everything works - path of least resistance. Actually, with the changes that I made, the output generated from the checksum-maven-plugin in the Apache Parent POM is overwritten. Using less procedural and ant more declarative maven would probably be preferable... but I believe there is no pressing reason right now to switch unless somebody feels the inner urge to spend some spare time on it ;) I'm personally more interested in doing a uimaFIT release than refactoring the UIMA parent POM.
