Ant Plugin Tip

[John Stauffer <jc...@yahoo.com>]

I am trying to use ant to develop a new packaging type, and have
everything working as expected, but have been unable to figure out how
to set the artifact file for the project as part of the packaging mojo.

According to the docs I've found, if I were using Java for this, I
would simply include the following line at the end of the mojo:

  package.getArtifact().setFile(new File("target/my-output.zip"));

Is there a mechanism to do the equivalent in ant? I've tried setting a
number of properties in my ant script, but none of them seem to work.
The error I end up with is: "The packaging for this project did not
assign a file to the build artifact".

I am trying to do the impossible?

that'd be wrong. You should use 

                projectHelper.attachArtifact( project, type, classifier, outputFile );

and have it injected with 

    /** @component */
    private MavenProjectHelper projectHelper;

in a mojo.

Yes, right now there's no way to alter the MavenProject instance from Ant.
I don't even think there's an ant task for it atm..
