[M2] Passing properties to ant script

["Siegmann Daniel, NY" <Da...@fja-us.com>]

I am converting a large and complex project from Ant to Maven2. I am reusing
part of the existing ant script to build a Jar file for deployment on a
WebSphere Application Server. The existing Ant script has many properties
defined which describe the structure of the project, but many of these are
redundant - Maven already knows base directory, source directory, and so on.

I know M2 doesn't have project.properties, but are there existing properties
which contain this information? If not, how do I pass this information to
Ant using the antrun plugin?

Hi Daniel,

This is a example from a POM of mine:

<property name="project.version" value="${project.version}"/>
<ant antfile="${basedir}/src/main/misc/build.xml"/>

It creates the variable project.version inside the Ant script.

This parameter should be available to the Ant script but isn't because
of a bug (if I'm not mistaken). Anyway this setup works for me.
