Niranjan,
If I were debugging this I would try to run any by itself on your build.xml
file and see if it runs outside of Maven. Run it from the folder where the
pom and build.xml both reside. (I'm assuming you have them in the same
folder, which is the root of your maven project.
If it doesn't, you will need to consult some Ant resources to get it fixed.
The Maven users aren't such a good bunch for working out ant problems,
though I don't insult their intelligence, just their motivation.
Once it works standalone, you can try it inside Maven's antrun plugin.
That's where the hints provided by the other folks here will help.
