Ant-Contrib foreach in Maven 2

I am trying to create an Ant task using the maven-antrun-plugin in Maven
2.  I would like to use the optional task foreach.  In Ant, I did this
by declaring the Ant-Contrib jar in a taskdef object in the build.xml.
How may I do this in Maven 2?  Thanks.

Ah crap, beat me too it....what he said!  :D!  I use ant-contrib too for
other projects as well (exactly for the foreach target).

If this is something that is only needed at build time, it might be
more appropriate either as a <dependency> of the antrun plugin, or as
a <build><extensions><extension>.

(It's probably not hurting anything on the compile-time classpath, but
the less your compilation classpath differs from runtime, the better.)

The maven2 official repos have the following versions:
	1.0b2
	20020829
I decided to put 0.6 in my internal repo (which is how maven finds it now 
in my project).

I have the following in the <dependencies> section of my pom

        <dependency>
            <groupId>ant-contrib</groupId>
            <artifactId>ant-contrib</artifactId>
            <version>0.6</version>
            <scope>provided</scope>
        </dependency>

then in my maven-antrun-plugin <tasks> section, I have the following:

           <configuration>
               <tasks>
                   <taskdef resource="net/sf/antcontrib/antcontrib.properties"           
                            classpathref="maven.compile.classpath"/>
                   ......
               </tasks>
           </configuration>

Hope this helps.
