Yes, I'm still using Ant and Ant Maven Tasks, which has now succumbed to the "501 HTTPS Required" bug.
I tried a quick fix patch ( https://github.com/tntim96/maven-ant-tasks/commit/b5a89db590e54126164d9d50a5062a0cb4be056c), but not only does the build fail, the resultant JAR still exhibits the behaviour, I suppose because it's based on maven 2.2.1 which also doesn't have the HTTPS fix.Upgrading maven versions appears to be non-trivial. This tool has worked pretty well for me, so I guess I have a few questions that didn't appear in the FAQ. Why was it retired? Is there a better approach to calling the Maven from Ant? What is the recommended dependency approach in Ant? Thanks. I would appreciate any help or tips.
