---------------------------------------------

Hi Julien. So what is the plan here? I know that this patch is just a start. 
It does not take into consideration the plugin dependencies which I suppose 
should also be managed via Maven. In addition, the ivy directory should ideally 
be removed. The maven-ant-tasks jar can then be added to out lib directory.
                
> Replace Ivy with Maven Ant tasks

> We might move to Maven altogether but a good intermediate step could be to

> means keeping the pom.xml and ivy.xml contents in sync. Most devs are also 
> more familiar with Maven, and it is well integrated in IDEs. Going the 
> ANT+MVN way also means that we don't have to rewrite the whole building 
> process and can rely on our existing script
