This sounds cool!  Did you use jruby for this?

I had a similar brainstorm (but hadn't had time to try anything yet) of
making a Ruby/Rake mojo, that would let you embed Rakefile tasks in a pom or
run an external Rakefile with the plugin, as an alternative to using antrun,
and invoking with "mvn rake:<taskname>".  Do you have any thoughts about
that?

Looking forward to seeing what you came up with!
