Thanks Anders. I installed jacocoant.jar to local repo now and ensured plugin dependencies are resolved correctly using dependency:resolve-plugins goal. It went fine. But upon mvn clean package, the ant task still throws the same error.
This is the modified pom.xml. (Also i have added plugin dependencies in 2 places - one for antrun plugin itself and other as normal build dependency, not sure which one is right). Any pointers? <build> <plugins> <plugin> <artifactId>maven-antrun-plugin</artifactId> <version>1.6</version> <executions> <execution> <phase>package</phase> <configuration> <target> <echo message="Base dir: ${maven.plugin.classpath}" /> <taskdef uri="antlib:org.jacoco.ant" resource="org/jacoco/ant/antlib.xml" *classpathref="maven.plugin.classpath">* *<!-- <classpath path="C:\SOFTWARES\JAVA\Java-external-jars\Jacoco\lib\jacocoant.jar" /> -->* </taskdef> <!-- <ant antfile="C:/build.xml"> <target name="report" /> </ant> --> <jacoco:report> <executiondata> <file file="C:/coverage.exec" /> </executiondata> <structure name="Example Project"> <classfiles> <fileset dir="C:\Workspaces\all-learning\tycho-maven-headless-build\com.ebay.sample.main\bin" /> </classfiles> <sourcefiles encoding="UTF-8"> <fileset dir="C:\Workspaces\all-learning\tycho-maven-headless-build\com.ebay.sample.main\src" /> </sourcefiles> </structure> <html destdir="C:/report" /> </jacoco:report> </target> </configuration> <goals> <goal>run</goal> </goals> </execution> </executions> * <dependencies> <dependency> <groupId>org.sonar</groupId> <artifactId>jacocoant</artifactId> <version>0.4.1</version> </dependency> </dependencies> </plugin> <plugin> <groupId>org.sonar</groupId> <artifactId>jacocoant</artifactId> <version>0.4.1</version> </plugin>* </plugins> </build> Also this is the xmlns in project tag: project xsi:schemaLocation="http://maven.apache.org/POM/4.0.0 http://maven.apache.org/xsd/maven-4.0.0.xsd" xmlns="http://maven.apache.org/POM/4.0.0" xmlns:xsi=" http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xmlns:jacoco="antlib:org.jacoco.ant"> Thanks, Hari On Tue, Nov 2, 2010 at 3:43 PM, Anders Hammar <and...@hammar.net> wrote: > > http://maven.apache.org/plugins/maven-antrun-plugin/examples/customTasks.html > > You need to define a plugin dependency to jacocoant.jar.
