Hi,
We want to execute ant pulgin , which should not execute with the default targets . it should execute when we require it. I am facing problem with ant plugin. The plugin definition is as follows an output with different scenarios are as follows: <plugin> <groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId> <artifactId>maven-antrun-plugin</artifactId> <version>1.2</version> <executions> <execution> <phase>clean</phase> <goals> <goal>run</goal> </goals> <configuration> <tasks> <echo message="this is a ant script embeded in maven script"/> </tasks> </configuration> </execution> </executions> </plugin> Output: Scenario 1: mvn clean [INFO] Scanning for projects... [INFO] ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [INFO] Building jdepend [INFO] task-segment: [clean] [INFO] ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [INFO] [clean:clean] [INFO] Deleting directory /home/maven/Bamboo/xml-data/build-dir/GENERAL-JDEPENDREL/build/maven/jdepend /target [INFO] Deleting directory /home/maven/Bamboo/xml-data/build-dir/GENERAL-JDEPENDREL/target/site [INFO] [antrun:run {execution: default}] [INFO] Executing tasks [echo] this is a ant script embeded in maven script [INFO] Executed tasks [INFO] ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [INFO] BUILD SUCCESSFUL [INFO] ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [INFO] Total time: 2 seconds [INFO] Finished at: Wed Dec 03 21:17:14 IST 2008 [INFO] Final Memory: 5M/10M [INFO] ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Scenario 2: mvn antrun:run [INFO] Scanning for projects...

Please let me know the possible solution.
