I have a large project consists of several EJBs and common utilities. Each EJB and utility is a subproject and there are very complex dependencies between them, for example: EJB-a depends on Utility-A, EJB-b depends on EJB-A, blah,blah, blah... The project is currently under the hood of Apache maven and I wants to migrate it to Apache ant, but I have no idea how to solve the dependencies in ant. Anyone here can give some suggestion?

For our project we built a java tool over the top of ANT to manage dependencies between our targets. The tool manages what gets built, in what order, and maintains the complex dependencies between the targets. That seems to work well for us. You can manage dependencies in ANT with the 'depends=' attribute, but for large projects with many build.xml files this is not enough. I would suggest creating your own tool... unless something else out there is available..?
