http://maven.apache.org/plugins/maven-antrun-plugin/usage.html
The maven-antrun-plugin has only one goal, run.
This allows Maven to run Ant tasks. To do so, there must be an existing project and maven-antrun-plugin must have its<target> tag configured (although it would still execute without the <target> tag, it would not do anything). Below is the template for maven-antrun-plugin'spom.xml.
<project> [...] <build> <plugins> <plugin> <artifactId>maven-antrun-plugin</artifactId> <version>1.7</version> <executions> <execution> <phase> <!-- a lifecycle phase --> </phase> <configuration> <target> <!-- Place any Ant task here. You can add anything you can add between <target> and </target> in a build.xml. --> </target> </configuration> <goals> <goal>run</goal> </goals> </execution> </executions> </plugin> </plugins> </build> [...] </project>
Moreover, you can add a script to each lifecycle phase, by duplicating the <execution/> section and specifying a new phase.
Ultimately, you could specify some Ant <target/> attributes in the <target/> tag. Only depends attribute in Ant<target/> is not wrapped.
[...] <configuration> <target name="The name of the target" if="The name of the property that must be set in order for this task" unless="The name of the property that must NOT be set in order for this task" description="A short description of this target's function"> <!-- Place any Ant task here. You can add anything you can add between <target> and </target> in a build.xml. --> </target> <configuration> [...]
If your ant tasks generate additional source code that needs to be added to the build, you can use thebuild-helper-maven-plugin. The sourceRoot and testSourceRoot options of the antrun plugin have been deprecated.
All of the properties available to maven are also available in the target configuration. However, you may want to call an external Ant build script using theant task. To avoid name conflicts, only a subset of the properties are passed to the external Ant build. These include all properties defined in theproperties section of the POM. It also includes prefixed versions of some of the commonly used Maven properties.
maven.project.groupId maven.project.artifactId maven.project.name etc.
If the maven property you want to use is not available in an external file, you will have to redefine the property before callingant.
<property name="maven.project.url" value="${project.url}"/> <ant antfile="build.xml"/>
Some Ant expressions have their respective counterparts in Maven. Thus, one can simply invoke the corresponding Maven expression instead of using maven-antrun-plugin to avoid the unneccessary overhead.
