You are right, that the ant stripes build is really simple. But I know a lot of projects that started with a really simple ant build and ended up in a messy ant build script orgy that was no longer understandable by anyone.
But you are right, there are not that many dependencies with stripes and as soon as http://mc4j.org/jira/browse/STS-352 is fixed most maven users should be happy - because they can use trunk or branch versions and still have maven artifacts generated with a reasonable amount of work.
