Currently, the build engineers have a lot of ant build scripts which build the entire suite of applications that are being developed. My project is a separate module that is a part of the application suite.
When the build process runs all of the applications need to be built including mine. The build engineers want to utilize the maven commands that I am using to build myapplication and run tests but they do not want to convert all of the Ant scripts to Maven thus requiring Ant to call Maven for my module only. I am hoping that the ant tasks for Maven will work. If not I will fall back to the exec task.
