I highly recommend having a look at the freely available books at http://maven.apache.org/articles.html You might not need that knowledge right now, but you will eventually, and it may also trigger off more thoughts about what else you would like to achieve with the conversion.
Re: Help with converting existing ant build to maven is required - forking
So, as far as Maven is concerned, Red5 is scope "provided". You want it to reference it for compiling but should not put its classes in the jar or war since you are going to sneak it into the package without Maven noticing. Pretty standard problem. We make a lot of aggregation jars that are used in the same way. http://blog.artifact-software.com/tech/?p=121 describes how we handle a similar need to produce skinny wars that use libraries in Tomcar/shared or tomcat/lib to avoid copies of the same code in multiple jars. Our LMS project has over 80 Maven projects that produce a variety of jars and wars. Many of these share the use of large libraries such as CXF, Spring and Apache commons that can be shared through Tomcat's classloader rather than duplicated in each war. There are some other notes about Maven on our blog that you might find interesting. I would prefer an installer to get the shared libraries into tomcat/lib but that is another issue.

Can you describe the "forking" Maven problem in more detail. What does it do that you don't want and what does it not do that you need.

Re: Help with converting existing ant build to maven is required

The others are automatically inherited.

Currently it works out of the box and this is the requirement.
