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! Cheers, /Nick
