[Anthill-pro] Tighter Maven Integration

[Maciej Zawadzki]

Right now our thought is that AHP's dependency system would essentially
wrap the Maven dependency system.  At the start of a build, AHP would
inject dependencies from AHP into the Maven repo and thus maven would
transparently use those during the build.  At the completion of the
build, AHP could extract the newly created artifacts from the maven repo
and publish them to the AHP repo.

Right now, the dependency management features in AHP are far more
flexible than those available in Maven, thus it makes sense to make AHP
the authoritative repo that wraps the Maven repo and not the other way
around.

We are also considering having a utility that would create AHP projects
based on a Maven POM.  This would most likely be a command line utility
that would use our remote scripting interface underneath.  A user would
invoke the utility pointing it at a Maven POM file, which would result
in a new project being configured in AHP.

Any comments or suggestions regarding either feature?
