### As an Engineer, I would like to make the build process integrate more easily with internal systems using [build-utils](https://github.com/sgoings/build-utils) so that my tools are integrated across multiple projects.

This is a proposal, so it isn't set in stone that it is going to happen yet.

Right now many of our tools are built around the structure preferred by [build-utils](https://github.com/sgoings/build-utils) to that used by maven, and we are using multiple testing phases for unit, integration, systems, etc tests which are stored, compiled, and managed separately. To this end, we are already using the antrun plugin from within maven, and this is likely to get more complicated in usage without significant refactoring. So, it may be worthwhile in the long run to migrate build systems or at the least figure out a cleaner way of managing these problems from within maven.
