Hi all, I am looking at the best approach to importing maven built products into an ANT build. The approach I have at the moment is having a maven-imports folder within my build directory, and within that folder I have a pom.xml describing a list of dependencies that are required by my ANT build. As part of the ANT build I run 'mvn dependency:unpack-dependencies' which collects all of the required dependencies and either fetches them from the local repository (for developer owned modules) or from an external repository if not found locally (for other 3rd party dependencies, and modules developed by other project teams released to the repository). The ANT build then appropriately manipulates the imported dependencies. I am not 100% certain that this is the correct approach because I feel as if I am not using Maven in the way it was designed. Since the pom.xml is not being used to describe a certain module or component, but instead simply a means by which I can list all of the dependencies I need to retrieve from the Maven repositories. I look forward to hearing back about what suggestions you may have. Your thoughts will be greatly appreciated. Kind Regards, Matt
