Body:
What do you mean by "detecting resources"? As far as I know, maven doesn't do
anything with respect to resources when it is dealing with dependencies.
As far as the location of the local maven repository goes, maven doesn't have
to be installed in order to determine where a local repository would be. Just
use the default, which is ${user.home}/.maven/repository. I would be surprised
if the majority of maven users use something other than this. You could even
add a property (say maven.ant.local.repo) to the maven ant plugin that would
allow you to override this default value.
Even if a user of the generated ant script were to migrate to maven and use a
different location for their local maven repository, at least while they use
the ant script they would avoid re-downloading all dependencies after doing a
'clean' (which deletes target/lib).
I don't see any harm in using ${user.home}/.maven/repository instead of
target/lib, and users of the ant script avoid the annoyance of re-downloading
dependencies after a 'clean'.

Key: MPANT-21
Summary: get-deps target should download to local maven repo

Environment: All
Description:
The get-deps target downloads dependencies to target/lib. This is problematic
since it forces downloads to occur after a 'clean' is performed. I suggest
downloading to the local maven repository, regardless of whether or not maven
has been installed. This avoids unnecessary downloads after a 'clean' and also
makes migration to maven easier. Once a user migrates to maven, dependencies
will already exist in the local repo.
