Hi, I am currently looking into writing an ant based maven plugin. My main issue is that this plugin depends on an artifact (tar.gz in a company repository) containing a few ant scripts, whose tasks should be run when using the plugin.
I declared the dependency in my plugin's pom.xml, and the plugin builds and installs fine. When using the plugin from another project, the dependency to my ant artifact is not pulled from the repository, so not visible from my ant plugin. I have seen other discussions where the path to the scripts would be hard coded in the plugin, but my goal is to keep my ant library nicely packaged and to avoid this solution. Does anyone have any experience in doing that kind of things ? Thanks for you input, Arnaud
