Thanks for the response, Unfortunately this wasn't the case, I tried using the plugin's dependencies in the hope that they would be accessible - they weren't.
I gave up in the end and decided a java based plugin would be easier to developer rather than fighting against the ant based plugin - though I would love to see it up, running and fully functional. Dave. On 8/24/06, Brian E. Fox <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote:
I haven't written an ant plugin so I can't help you with the first part. On the second question, the <plugin> tag can also take a <dependencies> tag and these dependencies will be added to the classpath when your plugin executes. http://maven.apache.org/ref/2.0.3-SNAPSHOT/maven-model/maven.html#class_ plugin -----Original Message----- From: Dave Sowerby [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Wednesday, August 23, 2006 12:17 PM To: users@maven.apache.org Subject: ant based plugin Hi All, I have been using an antrun execution to generate some code whilst prototyping a maven build system. I want to make a generic ant plugin to do this but had some issues in doing so. First of, I couldn't see how to use the paths as allowed in antrun - such as maven.compile.classpath, I eventually got it to work with a custom ant task and setting a property of type java.util.List - not ideal, I can deal with it until it's fixed in a release but is there any tidier way to do it? Secondly my maven-plugin-plugin usage in my ant maven-plugin has it's own dependencies - a generic set that should always be used with this plugin but I can't see how to access these - any ideas? Thanks for your time in advance.
