I've figured out why this does't work for me.
Right now the only way to get access to the classpath ref
"maven.dependency.classpath" is by being a Maven plugin. So its not
automatically available in a project's (mostly empty) build.xml file. The
reason is that references don't currently get returned from inner Ant
builds. The reason it works for plugins is due to the explicit call of the
maven ProjectProperties Ant task.
So to get access to the "maven.dependency.classpath" you can add this to
your projects build.xml...
<taskdef
name="project-properties"
classname="org.apache.maven.ProjectProperties">
<classpath>
<pathelement location="${lib.repo}/commons-lang-0.1-dev.jar"/>
<pathelement location="${lib.repo}/commons-util-1.0-rc2-dev.jar"/>
<pathelement location="${lib.repo}/commons-beanutils-dev.jar"/>
<pathelement location="${lib.repo}/commons-collections.jar"/>
<pathelement location="${lib.repo}/commons-io.jar"/>
<pathelement location="${lib.repo}/commons-logging-1.0.jar"/>
<pathelement location="${lib.repo}/commons-xo-1.0-20020507.jar"/>
<pathelement location="${lib.repo}/dom4j-1.3.jar"/>
<pathelement location="${lib.repo}/maven.jar"/>
</classpath>
</taskdef>
<project-properties projectDescriptor="project.xml"/>
Then the classpath reference will be available.
A better solution will probably be to patch Ant so that references can be
exported someway from an inner Ant build (such as the
${maven.home}/plugins/core/build.xml) to an outer build, such as a projects
build.xml.
I wonder if there's a way we could patch the
org.apache.maven.ProjectProperties to put the classpath reference somewhere
that could then be referenced by a projects build.xml. Anyone got any bright
ideas?
