Re: Remove obsolete maven-ant-tasks

Dear pgsql-jdbc hackers,

recently, I was trying to recompile postgresql jdbc driver (ver. 1201)
in Fedora Linux from source codes.

I had troubles with maven-ant-tasks package. Fedora forbids installation
from binary files ( ./lib/*.jar ) so we aren't using them. The package
maven-ant-tasks is not available in current release of Fedora. According
to the commit message [1] is the package retired because its
incompatibility with Maven 3. The Maven 2 is still present, but it is
already after its End of Life [2].

It would be nice, if you can remove dependency on maven-ant-tasks.

I was trying to create an patch, but my java skills are limited )-; I
suppose this commit [3] is best place to start.
