Managing project dependencies between Java projects is so easy using Eclipse, the bundle manifest and the PDE Editor. It's much more convenient than editing any XML file manually. In combination with the build.properties and PDE Build you have a powerful build system. Although I never used it, I like the idea of Maven where you have a central repository to download all the bundles from. However, Eclipse is my leading development system and all Maven integrations I've seen so far suffer from the intrusiveness to make Maven's pom.xml the leading system. Ok it's just a personal preference but basically that's the reason why I still prefer Ant. :) For me it’s all a question of tooling.

Still too few people on the mainstream using it.. I guess Maven2 is the way to go. Still too few people on the mainstream using it..
