What about using the Maven2 ant tasks and integrating that way? I just
started reading http://maven.apache.org/ant-tasks.html this morning.
<artifact:dependencies filesetId="my.dependency.fileset" verbose="true">
<pom id="project" file="pom.xml"/>
</artifact:dependencies>
Of course you'll need maven and ant...

The one case I wouldn't mind seeing an Ant build is in the source distribution.
Many times, I'm downloading source distros, and have to make some change, but
I'm on a network where I don't have connectivity to the outside world. If we
could make a source distro that was completely self-contained, complete with an
Ant build, I'd be fine with that.
