Answering my own question :-).
I solved the issue by calling maven directly from ant. Here's my ant
target:
<target name="install-file">
<java classname="org.codehaus.classworlds.Launcher" fork="true"
failonerror="true">
<classpath>
<pathelement
location="${env.M2_HOME}/core/boot/classworlds-1.1.jar"/>
</classpath>
<jvmarg
value="-Dclassworlds.conf=${env.M2_HOME}/bin/m2.conf"/>
<jvmarg value="-Dmaven.home=${env.M2_HOME}"/>
<arg value="install:install-file"/>
<arg value="-Dfile=${file}"/>
<arg value="-DgroupId=${groupId}"/>
<arg value="-DartifactId=${artifactId}"/>
<arg value="-Dpackaging=${packaging}"/>
<arg value="-Dversion=${version}"/>
<arg value="-DgeneratePom=true"/>
<arg value="-DcreateChecksum=true"/>
</java>
</target>

P.S. I posted this yesterday but apparently it never got pushed to the
list. My apologies if you receive this post twice.
