sshexec difference in maven-antrun-plugin vs standalone Ant

[James Leskovar <JL...@telecomsys.com>]

Hi all,

I'm trying to understand what appears to be a difference in the output captured in the outputproperty attribute of the sshexec task, when the Ant script is called via maven-antrun-plugin vs being called by a stand-alone Ant installation.
I'm launching an external Ant script like so:
<plugin>
        <artifactId>maven-antrun-plugin</artifactId>
        <version>1.7</version>
        ...
            <configuration>
              <target>
                <ant antfile="build.xml" target="build" />
              </target>
            </configuration>
        ...
</plugin>

build.xml looks like:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<project>
  <target name="build">
    <antversion property="antversion"/>
    <echo>Using Ant v${antversion}</echo>
    <sshexec host="ansades51" username="emob" password="emob" trust="true" command="echo hello" outputproperty="ssh.cmd" />
    <echo>${ssh.cmd}</echo>
  </target>
</project>

When calling build.xml via Maven, the output I get is:
[INFO] --- maven-antrun-plugin:1.7:run (default) @ ant.test ---
[INFO] Executing tasks
main:
build:
     [echo] Using Ant v1.8.2
  [sshexec] Connecting to ansades51:22
  [sshexec] cmd : echo hello
hello
     [echo] echo hello : hello
[INFO] Executed tasks

When I call build.xml via ant on the command-line, the output I get instead is:
F:\DevTools\workspaces\MLC\ant.test>ant build
Buildfile: F:\DevTools\workspaces\MLC\ant.test\build.xml

build:
     [echo] Using Ant v1.8.2
  [sshexec] Connecting to ansades51:22
  [sshexec] cmd : echo hello
  [sshexec] hello
     [echo] hello

BUILD SUCCESSFUL
Total time: 1 second

Notice how the ${ssh.cmd} property in the Maven case appears to have the command prefixed with the output, whereas there is no such prefix in the standalone Ant case. Is this expected?
I'm actually calling a fairly large Ant script that uses sshexec with outputproperty in a bunch of places, and I'd much rather not have to change all of the sshexec calls to then have to grep out the command output.

Any help would be much appreciated,
Cheers,
