Magic will suck the headlights out of its sockets on Maven when it takes off
properly.
It already kicks some serious a** with Maven, and is definately the
recommended way forward. In fact, it is likely that explicit Maven support
may be dropped in the future, and you would have to maintain such manually.
I am in the middle of a small re-org which will make a dramatic improvement in
the project setup, i.e. you will only need;
<project name="mycompany-myproject" default="install" basedir="."
xmlns:x="antlib:org.apache.avalon.tools"
>
<property file="build.properties"/>
<x:home/>
<import file="${magic.templates}/standard.xml"/>
</project>
in the typical project build.xml. No build.properties is required either and
the index.xml is placed in any parent directory above the projects.
The implementation of Magic at ScanCoin indicates that it is not that hard to
do even at the moment, and will only improve in the days/weeks to come.
Cheers
