Are there ant plugins that wrap maven so that I can make use of its dependency management features to download jars for me and place them in my ant build’s lib folder?
My specific problem is that I’m using the Crap4j plugin for Hudson, but it doesn’t, as of yet, support Maven. Since it’s a small project, maven is overkill, but I don’t want to go without mvn dependency:copy-dependcies if I don’t have to.
Any suggestions? (other than suck it up)
If you think that Maven is overkill in your project, you could/should try Apache Ivy: It’s a very powerful dependency management library similar to the Maven one.
If you’re hosting a project on the web, take also a look at Ivy Roundup, it’s a repository of Ivy definitions for various libraries.
