Because some functions not available or not easily accomplishable in maven, so I turned to the antrun in maven. But I can never get the antrun working, please help me out.
I read the Maven AntRun Plugnin page, http://maven.apache.org/plugins/maven-antrun-plugin/, and followed all the instructions and tried all the examples in the examples section, http://maven.apache.org/plugins/maven-antrun-plugin/examples/classpaths.html. But nothing is generated from the antrun. I tried a very simple ant command, <mkdir dir="abc" />, or an ant task <ant antfile="build.xml"> <target name="test"/> </ant> between the maven <tasks>. The ant "test target" is to make a directory, which works fine when issuing "ant test", but nothing happen in mvn. Strange, the mvn command shows execution successful, see below: [INFO] Scanning for projects... [INFO] ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [INFO] Building RTJDBC [INFO] task-segment: [antrun:run] [INFO] ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [INFO] [antrun:run] [INFO] Executing tasks [INFO] Executed tasks [INFO] ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [INFO] BUILD SUCCESSFUL [INFO] ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [INFO] Total time: 1 second [INFO] Finished at: Tue Jun 30 11:04:56 PDT 2009 [INFO] Final Memory: 2M/5M [INFO] ------------------------------------------------------------------------ I tried removing the antrun plugin from the pom.xml, the mvn antrun output is exactly the same as above. Got confused. thanks for any help. Qiner
