You simply need to "release" your own version of Ant using a specific version eg 1.8-JOSEPH and then specifically depend on that version in your Maven pom. You probably want to lock down the version with <version>[1.8-JOSEPH]</version> to prevent Maven from helpfully using a different version. You could use a "real" version like 1.8.2 but realize that **will** cause problems in the future if/when Ant releases their own version 1.8.2 jars. Deploy your Ant version to your Repo Manager (assuming you are using Nexus et al) and you should be all set.
