I use the antrun-maven-plugin to do things like this. I'm not sure if
that's the right way though!
In your specific case you could try
<build>
...
<plugin>
<artifactId>maven-antrun-plugin</artifactId>
<executions>
<!-- bind to the "install" phase of the default lifecycle -->
<execution>
<phase>install</phase>
<goals>
<goal>run</goal>
</goals>
<configuration>
<tasks>
<copy todir="${todir}">
<fileset dir="${fromdir}" />
</copy>
</tasks>
</configuration>
</execution>
<execution>
<!-- not sure in which phase you want to execute your sql command
-->
<phase>???</phase>
<goals>
<goal>run</goal>
</goals>
<configuration>
<tasks>
<!-- ant task to call subproject... -->
</tasks>
</configuration>
</execution>
</executions>
</plugin>
...
</build>

Hi *,
there's one point I do not understand with maven: how can I use it
to accomplish some tasks that doesn't seem to fit into the standard
phases. The question arised when implementing continuous
integration. For this I want to
- Copy a artefact to another directory. (more precisely: to deploy
the generated war-file to the app server) This is no job for
deploying something to a maven repository or generating a site, but
just a plain copy task.
- Call a special goal of a subproject. (more precisely: my db
subproject uses the hibernate-tools-plugin to execute some sql on
the database) The subproject includes a plugin for a specific task,
but I want to call this from the major build)
With maven 1.x, I wrote a maven.xml and defined goals for this. But
what is the maven 2 way? Must I write a plugin?
Thanks for your thoughts,
Martin.
