Description Dave Hughes

The CBI build uses maven-antrun-plugin to perform roughly 80 operations with Ant.  This is a remnant of the PDE build.  It is slowing down the mavenized build (the plugin forks and spawns Ant every time it is used) and has the potential to deviate from maven convention.

The use of Ant should be eliminated from the CBI build.

Unfortunately the report was quite pessimistic about achieving the goal of removing Ant from the CBI build. I'm not sure if the intern project also considered recreating some of the Ant task functionality with custom Maven plugins.

I think we're done here.
