I was trying to find a way that would use a unified dependency list for both the ant build and the maven deploy.
The path I have been going down is creating a dependency POM for doc, core and api and making them required dependencies of ApacheJMeter_parent. I have then modified build.xml to use these dependencies instead of build.properties, but I'm running into issues with the existing classpath declaration in the build.xml because it doesn't just use all of the files in core, doc, or api.

Ideally, yes, but that looks to be hard to do. This approach should be enough to publish the jars and it's not to hard to maintain. If it can be improved later, so much the better. > The code I have right now will deploy to a repo using ant to call the > mvn deploy command via an exec command.
