You may want to see at the reactor and/or the multiproject plugin. With Maven, you can define subprojects (each subproject is defined by a project.xml), although a very high granularity (i.e. a project per package) is descouraged.
Maven is also considered as a "wrapper" around Ant. All you need to do when you want to use Ant, is to define something like that in your maven.xml file: <ant:copy todir=".."> <ant:delete> ..
