Here's why: I'm setting up sonar - a tool for code quality analysis. The way sonar is run is:
"mvn sonar:sonar" I'm using ANT to build my project. However, sonar requires a dummy pom.xml file to trick it into saying it's a maven project. Then, Sonar will go and descend into all the directories and complete static code analysis. In my case, I need only specific directories to be analysed by Sonar. Hence, I simply list these directories and feed it into the pom.xml file's <sourceDirectory> property. This will allow sonar to analyse only those modules. Hence, I somehow need to figure out how I can feed these files one by one into pom.xml and call mvn each time.
