Googling the maven web site for "root ClassLoader" turned up one promising page, http://maven.apache.org/reference/developers/developer-guide.html. However, the current page (generated 03 November) doesn't even contain the word ClassLoader. Google's cached page (from 07 October) DOES mention it, at least in the context of developing a plugin.
Now I get an "INTERNAL ERROR": Reference made to goal 'java:jar-resources' which has no definition. --Daniel Rabe -----Original Message----- From: Brett Porter [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Wednesday, November 05, 2003 6:45 PM To: 'Maven Users List' Subject: RE: problems running ant tasks from maven You probably need to add a junit dependency to your project. You might need to put it in the root classloader (google the maven website). Anyway, you can integrate your ant script into maven.xml really easily. I'd recommend trying that. Actually, I'd recommend the test plugin above all of these, although I'm assuming this doesn't suite your needs. - Brett > -----Original Message----- > From: Daniel Rabe [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] > Sent: Thursday, 6 November 2003 12:33 PM > To: '[EMAIL PROTECTED]' > Subject: problems running ant tasks from maven > > > I have an existing ant task set up to run junit.
