Maven does have an Ant plugin that allows you to generate ant build files so that non-maven users can build maven-managed software initially (won't help much if the pom's change as you now need to run maven to generate new ant builds).
mvn ant:ant Maybe this could be used to cater to non-maven users from within the quickstart-- by giving them the ability to use Ant to build instead of Maven, and without having to manually create/maintain any of those build files.
