Calling Maven in Ant

[David Weintraub <qa...@gmail.com>]

Okay, without using the <exec> task, how do I call a Maven task from Ant?

I have a pom.xml, so all I want to do is say something like:

<maven dir="${prog.dir}" pom="pom.xml" step="package"/>

I looked over the Maven Ant tasks that are in Maven, and they look
overly complex for what I want. They look like they define the whole
dependency relationship that's already in the pom.xml. I already have
a pom.xml, and simply want to execute Maven from Ant.

So, what is the best way of calling Maven from Ant?

The Maven tasks in Maven should make Ant to do some Maven stuff, so the way inverse.

If the <exec> way works you could define a Makro for invoking with that signature.
You could also use <java> in that makro instead of <exec>.
