maven-antrun-plugin configure ${env.path}

[Johan Vogelzang <jo...@gmail.com>]

Hello all,

>From Maven[2.0.4] I want to use an existing third-paty ant-build script, by
executing tasks via the maven-antrun-plugin.
Some of the tasks in the ant-build script depend on Windows dll's, so these
dll's must be loaded on de PATH environment variable before the ant-scripts
runs.

Two questions:
1) Can I configure dll's as dependencies
2) Can I add these dll-dependencies to the PATH (${env.parh}) before the
ant-script runs.

Note: I do not want to make changes to the existingn ant-scripts, because
future versions are in hands of a third-party.

Thanx,
-- 
Johan

- You can upload your DLL to your internal remote repo
- Get maven-dependency-plugin to copy it, without version, your desired
location.
- Then you can use antrun to exe a new ant process ( this is where you can
configure
  java.library.path to include your dll path ) to invoke your build script.

May work, very sure about first 2 steps thou

-D
