RE : RES: Best practice for webapp development in WSAD/Eclipse
To use eclipse :
http://mevenide.codehaus.org/
And the eclipse plugin :
http://maven.apache.org/reference/plugins/eclipse/
To generate an ant file from a maven project there's the ant plugin :
http://maven.apache.org/reference/plugins/ant/
You can reuse an ant file in a maven.xml one but it's better to try to use all the power of maven and to reduce your ant files by delegating your code into predefined plugins.
