Well, if it exists it should work. Try a basic build.xml using ant 1.5.3 and if that works those tags should work in maven.xml too.. > > >you'd have to either use maven 1.1 > > I'd like to wait for a (beta) release before attempting Maven 1.1.

I've done it, works perfectly. :) I think this way you can get maven.xml to be run using ant 1.6. However, when a plugin explicitly refers to ant 1.5.3, that plugin gets run using that ant version, so you might also want to overwrite the jars in the local repository with the 1.6 versions (renaming them to 1.5). I know it's not the preferred way to go, but if you don't want to wait for maven 1.1 and you HAVE to use ant 1.6 features in maven.xml, this certainly works (at least for me - could be you get a NoClassDefFoundError or NoSuchMethodException or something when you use an obscure tag, but it's easy to revert..) > > I'm definitely willing to "settle" for BeanShell (or JavaScript if > someone can tell me how to make it work. You might want to check out scripting support for Jelly. The scripting language is pluggable (defaults to Jexl), so you might be able to find a JavaScript language plugin for Jelly. -- Kenney > > -- Sean > > > > >> I have 5 scripting languages working in ANT, but cut-and-paste to maven > >> doesn't work.
