Sorry for this Maven newbie question but I want to clarify the relationsship
between pom.xml and Ant's build.xml.
Are the following statements correct?

pom.xml is solely Maven related
build.xml is solely Ant related

Both do not (never) depend on each other (are e.g. included).

So if I get a project which contains a pom.xml and a build.xml then the
developer offers to use
either Ant or Maven. If I select Maven then I can delete build.xml. If I
select Ant then I can delete pom.xml without harm.

Is there a way to convert a build.xml into a pom.xml and vice versa?
Ok in case of pom.xml -> build.xml I would loose some functionality but this
should not be the question at this point.

Is there such a converter?

Thank you
Ben
