Thanks, Christian, I tried to adapt your suggestion for my situation,
but that solution does not seem to apply in this case.
I thought maybe properties might get passed thru ant to the Maven ant
task. In the ant script, I set org.apache.maven.global-settings to the
path to my settings file. The settings file did not get used by the
Maven ant task. So I guess the properties don't get passed down.
Unfortunately, there is no access to the mvn command line when you use
antlib, so I can't pass the property that way. It all happens under
the covers.
Also, I can't find any specific documentation about the copy task in
antlib. I do find on http://maven.apache.org/ant-tasks.html a section
titled Type Reference. I can't tell whether this is just advisory
about the contents of a settings file or whether it means there is some
way to specify a localRepository as a type somewhere in the invocation
of an ant task. Can someone advise?
Does anyone have another idea?
Thanks,

Subject: Re: Using ant and alternative local repositories with Maven
If we were not using the Maven ant tasks, there are several ways to
address this matter. There is the -s parameter to Maven,
there is the
$M2_HOME/conf/settings.xml, where we could vary the value of
$M2_HOME
according to which build we are doing. These mechanisms do not work
for the Maven ant tasks, as those tasks ignore $M2_HOME/conf
and have
no access to a -s argument.
Can anyone suggest what to do? Someone here suggested filing a JIRA
request for enhancement to Maven Antlib. That will take
quite awhile,
so I'm hoping there actually is already a way to do this and I just
haven't found it yet.
The way I solve the repository problem is to generate a
settings.xml file to my taste, then invoke maven with
-Dorg.apache.maven.global-settings=path-to-my-settings.xml-file
