How to bind ant to a maven-plugin custom goal
The way to integrate maven with ant is to simply use the maven-antrun-plugin
like
<plugin>
<groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId>
<artifactId>maven-antrun-plugin</artifactId>
<version>1.6</version>
<executions>
<execution>
<id>package</id>
<phase>package</phase>
<configuration>
<tasks>
<ant antfile="build.xml" target="package" />
</tasks>
</configuration>
<goals>
<goal>run</goal>
</goals>
</execution>
</executions>
</plugin>
in your project's pom.xml file
However I want to be able to have that associated build.xml script along
with the execution configuration as part of a maven plugin that defines a
custom packaging and a lifecycle.
Is there a way to do that?

Stephen, that's exactly what I needed. Thanks for that :)
I noticed the only way to pass property values is by having parameters to
specific mojos.
Judging by the
http://maven.apache.org/plugin-tools/maven-plugin-tools-model/plugin-metadata-1.0.0.xsd
XSD specification it doesn't look like there is an equivalent for global
ones.
Tried using the 'configuration' element under the 'maven-plugin-plugin'
plugin section but to no avail.
Is there another way or this is something currently not supported?
Thanks again.

Here we go... I knew there was a doc somewhere:

You basically wrap write your plugin in ANT. So specific goals corresponds
to specific build.xml's. The parameters are defined and injected in (by
properties IIRC) and it then behaves exactly like a Java plugin would.
I agree that we should put out some documentation on how to write them
though

Thanks for that Stephen. Documentation seems lacking so can't tell exactly
how ANT bindings is meant to be used.
Is it for executing ant scripts from within Java? So effectively write a
custom MOJO for each goal executing a specific ant target?
Mark, can't seem to find anything, on
http://www.sonatype.com/books/mvnref-book/reference/ the online version at
least , related to ant bindings.

There is an example of such a plugin in 'Maven - The Definitive Guide" available somewhere as free PDF I'm sure.

create a maven plugin using the ANT bindings
http://maven.apache.org/plugin-tools/maven-plugin-tools-ant/index.html
I can't find the example for an ANT based plugin at the moment... should be
more promenant though
