If the Ant guys want to make it easier to call out and use Maven, they will create plugins/tools to enable it as Maven has done with the maven-antrun-plugin. Or someone else who cares can do this -- its all open source. You're complaining to the wrong group, I think. And you're assuming the Maven Ant Tasks are designed for allowing you to run a Maven build from Ant -- this is simply an incorrect assumption on your part.
