How to use maven-antrun-plugin?

[Wendell Beckwith <wb...@gmail.com>]

I want to try and use the antrun plugin and I have the followin build 
element:

<build>
<plugins>
<plugin>
<groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId>
<artifactId>maven-antrun-plugin</artifactId>
<version>1.0-alpha-1-SNAPSHOT</version>
<executions>
<execution>
<configuration>
<tasks>
<echo message="Hello Ant Run"/>
</tasks>
</configuration>
</execution>
</executions>
</plugin>
</plugins>
</build>


with the following output:

E:\dev\workspace\maven-hello-plugin>m2 -X antrun:run

E:\dev\workspace\maven-hello-plugin>


I rebuild maven a couple of hours ago and all 68 tests past. However I 
noticed that I don't have an antrun install for 2.0-beta-1-SNAPSHOT, instead 
I have only a metadata file:

<metadata>
<groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId>
<artifactId>maven-antrun-plugin</artifactId>
<version>2.0-beta-1-SNAPSHOT</version>
<versioning>
<snapshot />
</versioning>
</metadata>

The maven-metadata-local.xml has
<metadata>
<groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId>
<artifactId>maven-antrun-plugin</artifactId>
<versioning>
<latest>1.0-alpha-1-SNAPSHOT</latest>
<release>1.0-alpha-1-SNAPSHOT</release>
<versions>
<version>1.0-alpha-1-SNAPSHOT</version>
</versions>
</versioning>
</metadata>
>From this, I gather that the alpha version is correct.
