I am tasked or I volunteered to build a build system that handles some tightly coupled build artifacts between both the master build and subproject builds. The components I decided to use are:

<a href="http://antlion.sf.net/index.html">Antlion</a>

<a href="http://antxtras.sourceforge.net/">Antxtras</a>

What I like about Antlion is that I can integrate it with either Apache IVY or Apache Maven. And what I liek abotu Antxtras is that I can stucutre the build systemto be testable and that the other build system artifacts beyond the normal build artifacts can be now artifact'd and thus re-used again and again.
