Sure thing. Here is an excerpt from the pom.xml:
<tasks> <ant antfile="test-maven.xml" target="test-maven-classpath" inheritRefs="true"/> </tasks> Then, this works: <project name="scxml-js" basedir="." > <target name="test-maven-classpath"> <property name="compile_classpath" refid="maven.compile.classpath"/> <property name="runtime_classpath" refid="maven.runtime.classpath"/> <property name="test_classpath" refid="maven.test.classpath"/> <property name="plugin_classpath" refid="maven.plugin.classpath"/> <echo message="compile classpath: ${compile_classpath}"/> <echo message="runtime classpath: ${runtime_classpath}"/> <echo message="test classpath: ${test_classpath}"/> <echo message="plugin classpath: ${plugin_classpath}"/> </target> </project> But this fails: <project name="scxml-js" basedir="." > <property name="compile_classpath" refid="maven.compile.classpath"/> <property name="runtime_classpath" refid="maven.runtime.classpath"/> <property name="test_classpath" refid="maven.test.classpath"/> <property name="plugin_classpath" refid="maven.plugin.classpath"/> <target name="test-maven-classpath"> <echo message="compile classpath: ${compile_classpath}"/> <echo message="runtime classpath: ${runtime_classpath}"/> <echo message="test classpath: ${test_classpath}"/> <echo message="plugin classpath: ${plugin_classpath}"/> </target> </project> With the following error: [INFO] An Ant BuildException has occured: The following error occurred while executing this line: /home/jacob/workspace/gsoc2010/git-scxml-js/scxml-js/test-maven.xml:19: Reference maven.compile.classpath not found. If I then set a property in the pom.xml, like this: <tasks> <property name="foo" value="bar"/> <ant antfile="test-maven.xml" target="test-maven-classpath" inheritRefs="true"/> </tasks> Then both of the following work: <project name="scxml-js" basedir="." > <target name="test-maven-classpath"> <property name="new-foo" value="${foo}"/> <echo>${new-foo}</echo> </target> </project> <project name="scxml-js" basedir="." > <property name="new-foo" value="${foo}"/> <target name="test-maven-classpath"> <echo>${new-foo}</echo> </target> </project> Please let me know what you think.
