Sorry, but I have not used the 'ant tasks for maven', and am not
familiar with it. The website[0] looks like it may have the answer; this
is a quote from the "Using the Antlib" section of the site:
"The main purpose of the antlib is to utilise Maven's dependency
management features."
If you do not find what you need there, maybe ask on this list in a new
thread with a more specific subject and someone else will be able to
help.
