Two additional questions:
1) Within a goal, I want to run something (in this case post-process) by default, unless the user doesn't want to. I was thinking it could check a variable called skip_post_process. If it's false or not set it rus the post-processor. If it's true, it doesn't. Any recommendations as to how this property should be set and checked - (the jelly if, ant property checking or something else)? (have a different entry goal which sets it to true? have it be an -D variable?)
2) any better maven versions of?
<condition property="build.os.type" value="unix">
<os family="unix" />
</condition>
<condition property="build.os.type" value="windows">
<os family="windows" />
</condition>AND
<tstamp>
<format property="build.timestamp" pattern="yyyy-MM-dd HH:mm:ss"/>
</tstamp>

I don't have a terribly good grasp of Ant and now I'm converting a lot of ant scripts into Maven. Is there a definitive guide to the differences between <property>, <attribute>, <param>, <j:set var>, the differences between them and the differences between Maven and Ant? Is there one definitively better one to use for Maven? How about testing for true, false and 'is set'? And finally, how about reading from a .properties file with a variable=value pair on each line?
