You're going to have to give the fully qualified path name to "mvn.bat"... like "-Dexec.executable=C:\maven2.0.4\bin\mvn.bat"... or you can set that value in the pom's properties file.
Now, don't think that I condone this at all - I think you'll be hard pressed to find anyone here who does. I'm just pointing out that it's possible. Eric On 12/11/06, Deluigi Marcus <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote:
That's a great idea! However, how do I tell the exec-plugin where to find maven itself?

I also don't want to provide an absolute path. I want that the program searches the program within the defined path of the environments 'path' varariable. > -----Original Message----- > From: Eric Redmond [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] > Sent: Donnerstag, 7.
