Problem in Maven

[abc abc <ne...@yahoo.com>]

I have an ANT build script, and i slowly want to migrate to Maven.
  So, initially i want my ant Script to be invoked from Maven.
  I have a jar file which contains a class that I am using in build.xml file.
  The build.xml file and that jar file reside in same directory, and the ant script is working fine.
  I am doing something like this in my build.xml file.
  <taskdef name="replaceProperty"
 classname="com.abc.def.ant.utils.ReplaceProperty"/>
 <tstamp><format property="build.date" pattern="yyyy-MM-dd@hhmmss"/></tstamp>
 
 <replaceProperty propertyName="build.date" newPropertyValue="${build.date}" propertyFilePath="build.properties" />
  The package com.abc.def.ant.utils.ReplaceProperty lies inside the jar which is in the same directory as of build.xml, and works fine with ant script.
  But now, when i run maven from some other directory and call this ant script from there, it gives the following error:-
  Build failed
taskdef class com.abc.def.ant.utils.ReplaceProperty cannot be found.
  Please help ....
  waiting for your response.

You need to add a classpathref to the taskdef so it can find the jar.

If you wish to do this in the "maven way" - put the jar in your local
repository, add it as a dependency in your project with
<properties><classloader>root</classloader></properties>

Cheers,
Brett
