Hi, what I really have in mind is to setup ant's source tree so that you can build ant with maven with very simple POMs, which means one source tree per output jar file. This would not prevent us from keeping our build system with build.bat/build.sh bootstrap.bat/bootstrap.sh and build.xml but would allow to setup parallel builds using maven which would work fine.
In the long run, if maven becomes better at solving some issues like the release process (including the so called staged release process) we could build, stage and release ant using maven. We can already build ant's jars using maven, but our POMs are convoluted.
