Time and time again I've read and heard people frustrated over Maven and how complicated it is. And that it's much easier to use Ant to build code.
However, in order to:
- Compile code
 - Run tests
 - Package a deployable unit
 
This is all you need from Maven:
<project>
  <modelVersion>4.0.0</modelVersion>
  <groupId>type something here</groupId>
  <artifactId>type something here</artifactId>
  <version>type something here</version>
</project>
What would be the corresponding minimal Ant build file?
