How we do this using ivy, maven ant tasks, etc. needs to be defined and documented, and the existing build-thirdparty target replaced.

Yes, this is basically my current goal with the mavenization, but I probably should have done a better job of communicating this.  

I just wanted to point out that ivy or maven ant tasks would be needed only for the testsuite.  My plan is to create a new testsuite which is basically a copy of the current one except that the classpath points to the maven generated jars instead of the ant ones.

We wouldn't need to modify the existing ant build because once the testsuite works for the maven build, we won't need the existing build anymore.
