Ive added the maven plugin maven-antrun-plugin to our pom. This basically allows you to call ant targets from maven.
This means you can now build the distro via maven if you want by running 'mvn package' and clean by running 'mvn clean'.
Because maven handles all dependencies including ant and the JDK the project should be buildable without having ant or a jdk installed (altho I havent tried it).
The reason for this is to make moving from ant to maven (if we decide to) a lot easier. It means we can migrate tasks 1 at a time if needed.
