You could use maven to kick off the ant build
using the antrun plugin, that way you wouldn't have to maintain two
separate
builds, but you could still use maven plugins (like the eclipse and idea
plugins).

The ide plugins alone make a maven project attractive to work on.  I can use
my
ide of choice, and know that mvn eclipse:eclipse will get me up and running
without any custom ide configuration.
