Ant Script Path & Repository Variable

Where should Ant scripts ideally be placed within a Maven 2.x project? I have placed them in <project>/src/main/resources/ant. Is there anywhere more maven-conventional?

How should I reference the local repository from an Ant script in my project? There are custom Ant tags within a jar that has been downloaded to my local repository. Ant needs to be able to get at these jars from my project. Do you have any suggestion of how I would do this?

If there is documentation that answers my questions, feel free to point me in that direction. I have read a fair amount of the documentation on the Maven web site.

Thanks,
Alex Eagar

None that I know of :)

To have your custom Ant tags available from your antrun tasks, you can add
them as plugin dependencies :
~       <plugin>
~         <artifactId>maven-antrun-plugin</artifactId>
~         <dependencies>
~           <dependency>
~             <groupId>ant</groupId>
~             <artifactId>ant-nodeps</artifactId>
~             <version>1.6.5</version>
~           </dependency>
~         </dependencies>
~       </plugin>

Maybe you've already checked the antrun plugin doc, but if not, here is it :
