Try adding the antrun-plugin in your modules in the <plugins>-section.
You can ommit the configuration, since
you already have that (I presume) in your parent POM in the
<pluginManagement>-section...
I have many modules that I want to run this... so to keep with the DRY
principle (don't repeat yourself); I'll keep it in the parent in
/project/build/plugins
Not sure about where this is written (if it is at all), but it should
work like this...
PluginManagement is sort of a definition for plugins, which MUST be
explicitly activated (if not pre-defined in the
build lifecycle) by adding them in the POM.
If that is so then how is xdoclet being activated despite it only being
mentioned in pluginManagement?
Hope this helped,
Roland

I'm trying to understand how maven determines when to use plugins for a
module.
I have a parent pom and many modules. I noticed that if I put a
<pluginManagement> in the parent and specify the xdoclet maven plugin
configured for the "generate-resources" phase, that it gets executed
when that phase comes due at the module level -- except for when there
are no files for xdoclet to process. So it appears smart like that but
I don't know how that is orchestrated.
I am trying to get the antrun plugin to behave similarly, but it didn't
work when I set it up similarly. That is, specifying the plugin in the
<pluginManagement> of the parent pom, for the generate-sources goal.
It doesn't get executed. (note: it's not actually generating sources,
it's generating other files needed by assembly:assembly). I
experimented and put it in /project/build/plugins and low and behold,
it is executed now.
What's going on? Please enlighten me... and better yet, point me to
documentation for this 'cause I haven't found it.
