Re: Ant based plugin dependencies
Hi, Thanks for your answer. I'll try to explain better what I am trying to do. I have an artifact, say, com.mycompany.ant-build-utils containing ant scripts that do some interaction with SCM an CI, that we need to use during the build. Now, as you say, it is untarred manually on a shared drive and called directly from a build script that is in every project. So every project we have has a pom.xml, and a build.xml. The build.xml is called either by maven via the ant plugin, or invoked directy from the command line using ant for the particular task I am discussing. What I would like to do, is to use the scripts that are in my com.mycompany.ant-build-utils via maven, and I thought the best way to do that was to create a plugin (I chose an ant-based plugin). My plugin, say com.mycompany.ci-plugin has a pom that will look like this : 4.0.0 com.mycompany ci-plugin 1.0-SNAPSHOT maven-plugin CI plugin org.apache.maven maven-script-ant 2.0.6 com.mycompany ant-build-utils 1.0-SNAPSHOT maven-plugin-plugin 2.5 org.apache.maven.plugin-tools maven-plugin-tools-ant 2.5 update-ci and has an ant mojo like this : Here we should call the ant script from ant-build-scripts My problem is, as you see, to be able to fetch the ant-build-scripts when the plugin is used from another project, and execute a target from it. One solution I guess would be to explicitly call maven from my mojo to copy and unpack the deps, but it is a solution I would like to avoid as it breaks the standard maven process.

Re: Ant based plugin dependencies
Hi, Not sure I understand what your issue is. Are you depending on some filesystem path? What's the displayed error? -- Baptiste Le 16 mai 2013 18:42, "arnaud dufranne" a écrit : > Hi, > > I am currently looking into writing an ant based maven plugin.

Re: ant based plugin
Thanks for the response, Unfortunately this wasn't the case, I tried using the plugin's dependencies in the hope that they would be accessible - they weren't. I gave up in the end and decided a java based plugin would be easier to developer rather than fighting against the ant based plugin - though I would love to see it up, running and fully functional.
