All generation requires a model to generate from. AFAIK the site-plugin uses the pom for this purpose. We don't have such a model in Ant. Also I can't remember a wish for that. Additionally I don't know any project (in my company) that uses these sites. Maybe they are useful for open source projects. I don’t think that we should spend any effort into that. But Ant is an OS project - if you want to do a prototype you're welcome.
