newbie question: how to invoke ant from maven

[Jed Reynolds]

I'm interested in making Maven run a bunch of tasks for my build, but I'm having a difficult time finding examples of how to either setup my maven.xml or project.xml to do things like invoke Ant scripts. So, I feel I'm obviously off on the wrong foot.

This is what I'd like my build to do:
- generate classes using Castor (or Jenerate)
- run importscrubber
- run iContract
- compile the product code
- run JUnitDoclet,
- MockMaker
- compile the units and mocks
- run the unit tests
- compile the cactus tests
- do the database build (dbUnit...?)
- run the integration tests

Now, a week before I discovered Maven, I had begun writing Ant scripts (assume an ant script per above bullet) to do each of these. So far as I can figure out, I can still write an Ant script for each of them, and just invoke them from the maven.xml Jelly file, right? And that's where I'm stumped. I don't recognise any examples of how to invoke Ant from Jelly.

Any suggestions?

Thanks in advance,
