An unsolicited outside comment...
If your intention is to continue to allow the general Struts user community to still be able to build Struts, I would suggest against Maven.
Maven strikes me as considerably more complex and intimidating than does Ant, even if that complexity might be justifiable because Maven is more powerful. I think there is a higher barrier to entry with Maven, and Ant is I think a more common and well-understood tool by most developers.
If this isn't so much a concern though, i.e., if you intend that for the most part only those interested in actively developing Struts should be building it from source, than by all means go with Maven.
It would however be unfortunate if the seemingly simple choice of a build tool discouraged contributions. I'm not saying this would be the case going with Maven, but I *would* be less concerned about this with Ant.

While I generally agree with letting a project's direction be guided by those that are willing to do the work, in this case, I think we do need to come to a consensus on a single build tool and work to get rid of the other. Since you are well versed in Maven and are willing to do the work as evidenced by recent commits, let's all agree to make Maven the official Struts build tool and not even bother with Ant. I have complete faith in your ability to ensure 100% functionality with Maven.
I should also add, if you need any help in an area, let me know.
I'm +1 to Maven.
