Hi James,
You can use Ant to launch another program. Here is a Jelly script sniplet
that we used to launch a JVM (we launched the Axis Admin Tool to merge
wsdds). Maybe that helps you.
<!-- define classpath: -->
<ant:path id="wsdd.merge.classpath">
<ant:path refid="maven.dependency.classpath"/>
<!-- add axis to classpath if not already there -->
<pathelement location="${pom.getDependencyPath('axis:axis')}"/>
<j:set var="axis-dep-var"
value="${pom.getDependencyPath('axis:axis')}"/>
<j:if test="${context.getVariable('axis-dep-var') == null}">
<pathelement location="${plugin.getDependencyPath('axis:axis')}"/>
<echo>Added Axis ${plugin.getDependencyPath('axis:axis')} to
classpath.</echo>
</j:if>
<pathelement location="${plugin.getDependencyPath('axis:axis-ant')}"/>
<pathelement location="${plugin.getDependencyPath('ant:ant')}"/>
<pathelement
location="${plugin.getDependencyPath('axis:axis-jaxrpc')}"/>
<pathelement
location="${plugin.getDependencyPath('commons-logging:commons-logging')}"/>
<pathelement
location="${plugin.getDependencyPath('axis:axis-commons-discovery')}"/>
<pathelement location="${plugin.getDependencyPath('axis:axis-saaj')}"/>
</ant:path>
<!-- call Axis Admin tool -->
<ant:apply executable="java"
dir="${maven.build.dir}/${pom.artifactId}/WEB-INF" failonerror="yes"
parallel="true">
<arg value="org.apache.axis.utils.Admin"/>
<arg value="server"/>
<env key="classpath"
value="${context.project.antProject.references.get('wsdd.merge.classpath')}"
/>
<fileset dir="${maven.jabba.temp.dir}/ws" includes="**/*.wsdd"/>
</ant:apply>
Best regards,
Jörn
