Thankyou for your quick reply. Yes I am using maven 1.x only. But I was able to make some progress but unfortunately found one more issue. below is my maven goal
<goal name="maven-goal"> <ant:echo> mohan in maven goal</ant:echo> <ant antfile="build.xml" inheritrefs="true" target="ant-target"> </ant> </goal> and below is my build.xml: <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" ?> <!DOCTYPE project [ <!ENTITY sunny SYSTEM "sunny-sample.xml"> ]> <project name="tests" default="main" basedir="."> <import file="level-2-build.xml"/> <property file="test.properties"/> <property file="test1.properties"/> <property file="mohan.properties"/> <!-- <property name="property" value="build.xml.property"/> --> @sunny <target name="ant-target"> <echo> "MOHAN" in ant target </echo> <echo> ${src} in mohan.properties</echo> <echo> ${sample} in test.propertes</echo> <echo> ${jars} </echo> <echo> ${property-level2} </echo> </target> </project> But when I execute the maven-goal I am getting the below error: Unexpected element "import" But very thing working fine , when I remove the following segment from my build.xml: <!DOCTYPE project [ <!ENTITY sunny SYSTEM "sunny-sample.xml"> ]> what I need to do achieve the same functionality ?
