RE: Combining ant and maven (was (Fwd) Re: Corporate constructive
criticism)
Before integrating maven into ant, I'd consider which flow suits you best.
Starting maven is slower than using ant inside maven, so you may be better
off again putting your existing ant code into maven.xml, or a plugin that
you can share amongst projects.
This is how I started out (still have it, although maven does most
everything on its own now).

All plugin properties are defined in the plugin.properties file for that
plugin, and SHOULD be documented on their home page.
I'd rather we get the documentation right.
There are multiple 'scopes', as well.
Which properties are you looking for?

Is there any ant/maven task/goal that lists all the properties in scope with
their values? This would seem like one way to help users write scripts in
maven where maven is creating undocumented properties by itself.
