Hi Ritu, I'm not sure what your goal is, but if you're just trying to do a simple compilation of source code, you might want to simply point your POM at the source directory, and try calling `mvn compile`.
By default, Maven will compile the source files for you...it's part of the default lifecycle for jar projects. POM syntax for source directory: <project> [...] <build> <sourceDirectory>relative/source/dir</sourceDirectory> </build> </project> HTH, john On 8/14/06, franz see <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote:

I have taken a look at the AntExternal guide as well: > http://ant.apache.org/manual/antexternal.html. Sorry, I don't know of any advance guides which integrates Ant Java APIs with MOJOs. But you may want to look at the source code of maven-antrun-plugin to see how it used the Ant Java APIs (see [1]). Who names, maybe it can already do what you're trying to accomplish ^_^ > At this point, I am simply trying to use Ant's Javac.java API to compile > my source code using a MOJO.

In Maven > 1.x this was accessible using maven.dependency.classpath reference in > plugin.jelly. code wise, you can use the following to get those classpaths * for maven.dependency.classpath and maven.compile.classpath, use mavenProject.getCompileClasspathElements() * for maven.runtime.classpath, use mavenProject.getRuntimeClasspathElements() * for maven.test.classpath, use mavenProject.getTestClasspathElements() then add reference to your Ant Project (i.e. antProject.addReference( "maven.compile.classpath", p) where p is of type org.apache.tools.ant.types.Path) Better if you take a look at executeTasks( ... ) of AbstractAntMojo (see [2]) > 2.
