One thing I found out was that there's a decent set of Maven Ant tasks that allow easy deployment of Maven artifacts from Ant:
http://maven.apache.org/ant-tasks/index.html
http://maven.apache.org/ant-tasks/reference.html#Task
I started using these tasks (earlier did manual uploads) because otherwise it is a pain to try to get all metadata (checksums, file that contains refs to all versions, needed for version-range dependencies) properly done manually or using plain Ant tasks.
The only problem I had with the tasks was that for some reason I had to add them to Ant's global jar directory (most other tasks, such as OSGi wrappers work just fine when added to project-specific locations).
So at least there's a reasonable way to easily do maven deployments without absolutely having to start using Maven as the build system.
