> The purpose of this report is to suggest an FAQ entry or other web content, as follows.
> Using the Maven Antrun Plugin in multiple projects in the Reactor
> In Maven 2.0.x, there is a significant bug that can lead to very perplexing failures with the antrun plugin. There are two conditions that you have to meet to get into this problem.
> 1) You have to use the plugin in two projects that are loaded into the reactor via <modules/> .
> 2) You have to require additional plugin dependencies on the plugin.
> In Maven 2.0.x, the dependencies of the first project into the reactor win, and all the others are entirely ignored.
> Concretely, if your first project uses the plugin with no special dependencies, and your second one tries to use ant-trax, the second antrun execution will fail, and complain that it can't find the classes in ant-trax. 
> The only solution to this is to ensure that, in all of the places where you use the plugin, you list the same dependencies.
