Research direction

Compare the artifacts produced by build.xml and pom.xml, then inspect pom.xml for compiler and packaging settings that could explain the 571k versus 850 KB jar sizes. Confirm whether debug information or other files account for the difference; done means the Maven output matches the intended Ant contents or the size discrepancy is documented with a clear cause.
