Simple antrun question

I know this is a very simple question, but I'm lost on how to solve it.

I want to add an antrun task to my pom.xml that I can execute outside of
any lifecycle phase. In short, I want to run it much like a normal ant goal.

What I currently have is:

          <plugin>
             <artifactId>maven-antrun-plugin</artifactId>
             <executions>
                <execution>
                  <id>myId</id>
                  <configuration>
                     <tasks>
                        <ant antfile="./build.xml" target="t1"/>
                        <ant antfile="./build.xml" target="t2"/>
                     </tasks>
                  </configuration>
                  <goals>
                    <goal>run</goal>
                  </goals>
                </execution>
             </executions>
          </plugin>

I thought that if I execute mvn antrun:run, this would execute the two
listed targets. Instead, I simply get a nice short message stating that
my goals have been executed, but the evidence is to the contrary.

Note that if I do add a phase to this markup, and execute against that 
phase, all is well. This is not, though, what I desire to do.

Any help is appreciated.

Regards,

These answer my "unstated" question - does what I'm trying to do make 
sense :)? I currently do execute via ant, but thought I could do the 
same using maven. Guess I'll scrap the idea and stick with ant.

Thanks for the help.

Half of me wants to say, "Then why not just use Ant?" and the other
half wants to know what you're doing in those tasks.  The default
lifecycle covers most situations, what are you doing that doesn't fit?

In any case, there is no getting around the fact that Maven is
lifecycle based.  Since it does work if you bind to a phase, try doing
that, and put it in a profile.  Then 'mvn antrun:run [phase]
-Pmyprofile' should work.

Any particular reason why you don't just put those in an external
build.xml file and call them directly from Ant, rather than attempting
to make it work by embedding inside your pom.xml etc?

That's how I handle these kinds of situations, personally.
