In the long run, if maven becomes better at solving some issues like the
release process (including the so called staged release process) we could
build, stage and release ant using maven.
what's the benefit ? for what purpose ?



the benefit would be to use whatever the maven team develops to automate or 
semi automate releases.


There's stuff underway in ivy to generate pom files from ivy descriptors; it could be the precursor to ant based release deployment. For those of us whose projects live mostly in the Ant space, not having to drop to Maven would only be a good thing. After all, if I can use maven for releases, why not use it from the ground up?

Nb, we have used maven1 in the past to create some of the site docs for smartfrog, like the change log. We also use forrest.
