I use Ant as a fundamental scripting language for Maven. I use the antrun plugin. I have a hacked up version that allows me to build Plugins that hold an Ant build file and a simple, thin Mojo that extends the Antrun base class. When executed this Plugin unpacks the Ant build.xml and executes targets against it. It works like a charm. The power of Ant plus the power of maven -- no reinventing the wheel...
And AFAIK Jason, John, et al have incorporated my changes into the latest/greatest version -- though I've not tried it since my hacked up version is working fine for me...
