title: Is there a way I can use Maven repositories to add dependencies to Ant?
body: <p>I was wondering if anybody has seen a technique for adding Maven dependencies to Ant.  I thought that Ivy was meant to do this but then I realized that it is only an Ant-style tool for dependency management.</p>
  
  <p>It seems to me that if somebody extended Ant to be able to reference Maven dependencies (perhaps only for open source libraries) Ant could piggyback at least one great feature of Maven without having to re-invent the wheel.</p>
  
  <p>Any thoughts?</p>
