Maven antrun plugin

[Kevin Witten <Ke...@nomadix.com>]

Any help appreciated:

I'm trying to run an ant task on clean using maven 2.0.9. So I'm basically following examples from
The book "Maven - The Definitive Guide". I created a simple pom.xml shown below, which uses the
antrun plugin configured to run echo tasks. This is set up to run on phase "pre-clean",
so the echo message should be displayed before the clean. But it does not work.

When I run clean, I do not get the echo.

$ mvn clean
