"Grow Up" ? WTF!
The guy who runs the project doesn't want to. Leave it be.

Seriously, pivot looks like a private club, your primary audience is java
developers and you tell them that ant (10 years old tech) is good enough...
Grow up...

Threatening to fork does not promote a sense of collaboration.
Again - we like Ant and it suits our needs. Moving to Maven would be a major
disruption that is simply not justified.

Hmm, That's what I did, offer to collaborate... But was just said thanks
but no thanks.
FYI It took me 30 minutes to mavenize the pivot project and was able to
produce jar's, javadocs and sources. But of course everybody hate's
maven...

We understand the benefits as they apply to other projects. We just don't
feel that they apply here.
Sorry to hear that you would prefer to fork rather than collaborate, but
that option is of course available to you.

Oh well, I understand, most projects I propose maven are not mature
enough to understand the benefits (not your fault, it's that way)
I guess my only choice is to fork the project...

I personally find Maven to be a bit cumbersome - but in any case, Ant is
appropriate for our needs and works well, so there's no compelling reason
to switch. And don't forget that Ant is an Apache project too. :-)

I don't know of any serious project today not using maven.

Maven is the marmite of the software world. :)
(I'm not a fan either, to be honest.)

Is there any plan to get rid of ant and switch completely to maven?
It
would be nice to be able to compile easily, produce javadocs and
sources
jar's.
