Haven´t worked with that - just found the page while visiting some blogs.
Sayed Hashimi started a discussion [1] about build tools (primarily Ant+Maven).
Suggestions
in comments were combining Ant+Groovy. But also leafcutter [2] was listed.
>From leafcutter´s homepage:

Leafcutter is an API which allows you to execute Ant tasks from Java code.
Leafcutter is useful as:
- A way of integrating Ant tasks into existing Java programs.
- A wholesale alternative to standard Ant for process automation. We'll look at
reasons for doing this in a moment.
Prior knowledge of Ant is helpful, but not necessary.
<target name="backup" depends="init" if="backup.enabled">
<property name="source.dir" value="src/main"/>
<copy todir="home/backups" verbose=true>
<fileset dir=${source.dir}" includes="**/*.txt"/>
</copy>
</target>
This Java code does the same job using the Leafcutter API:
public void backup(boolean enabled){
if (enabled){
init();
File sourceDir = new File("src/main");
TaskRunner.run("copy todir=home/backups verbose=true (fileset dir=${1}
includes=**/*.txt)", sourceDir);
}
}

In case someone want´s to play a little bit :-)
