Open Handset Alliance

So google have come out with the SDK for Android. One thing that I am curious about is what is going to be the effect of Google backing Ant over Maven?? I like both Ant and Maven but I have to say I have a preference for Ant (it’s what I grew up on as a developer) but was thinking that Maven has so much more power…..thinking again now.

Ant is good and one thing I did note about Maven was that it allowed you to still call an Ant script from a maven task, does this new announcement from Google spell the end from Maven? Will be keeping a foot in both camps for the time being but I guess time will tell.
