Execute Ant task with Maven
12,499
Solution 1
To run Ant tasks from within Maven 2, you need to use the Maven AntRun Plugin:
<build>
<plugins>
<plugin>
<artifactId>maven-antrun-plugin</artifactId>
<version>1.3</version>
<executions>
<execution>
<phase>generate-sources</phase>
<configuration>
<tasks>
<echo message="Hello, maven"/>
</tasks>
</configuration>
<goals>
<goal>run</goal>
</goals>
</execution>
</executions>
</plugin>
</plugins>
</build>
The Maven Ant Plugin is something else, it is used to generate build files for Ant from the POM.
Solution 2
Try this one..This will be on the validate phase.
<plugins>
<plugin>
<groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId>
<artifactId>maven-antrun-plugin</artifactId>
<version>1.1</version>
<executions>
<execution>
<phase>validate</phase>
<goals>
<goal>run</goal>
</goals>
<configuration>
<tasks>
<echo message="Hello world" />
<echo message="${env.M2_HOME}" ></echo>
</tasks>
</configuration>
</execution>
</executions>
</plugin>
</plugins>

I'm trying to execute with Maven some test written using Ant tasks. I generated the files required to import the task into Maven, but I can't execute them.
My POM is defined this way:
<build> <plugins> <plugin> <artifactId>maven-ant-plugin</artifactId> <version>2.1</version> <executions> <execution> <phase>generate-sources</phase> <configuration> <tasks> <echo message="Hello, maven"/> </tasks> </configuration> <goals> <goal>run</goal> </goals> </execution> </executions> </plugin> </plugins> </build>
I try to execute that message, but I get an error with run:
[ERROR] BUILD ERROR [INFO] ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [INFO] 'run' was specified in an execution, but not found in the plugin
But, if I run: "mvn antrun:run", I know that this can not run the task.
An if I've different targets, how do I call them from Maven? I've the pom.xml, and build.xml with the ant tasks.
Thanks.
