Major Description
org.apache.ant is the standard groupId used by the Apache Ant project. Please start using it instead of the ant groupId. This is even causing problems for us(Linux Distributions building from source and offline) because we usually ship just one ant version and the latest one is not providing this groupId so builds are failing for us.
This shouldn't be a problem for anyone else because people building with maven and in online mode will simply get the new version.
