ant-optional with maven
I'm sorry if this has been asked before, but I couldn't obviously see
the answer after some google research...
Is it possible to use the ant-optional tasks with maven?
Thank you
Max

Perhaps the symlink task was added in 1.6? Maven uses ant-1.5.3-1.
Ant is not specified in the plugins - it is in MAVEN_HOME/lib. You can't use ant
1.6 at the moment - it is incompatible. xalan is the most asked about dependency
on ant:xslt, but not relevant to your question (just used as an example here).
To be honest, I've always done <ant:exec /> with "ln -s ... ..." as the command :)
Sorry I can't help more on this.
Cheers,
Brett

I should add, just so you don't think I'm being really lazy that I've
tried doing a grep for some of the other ant:optional tasks in my
plugins directory, but not come up with anything...

Well, don't I feel stupid... You've very kindly answered my mail, and
I'm still no closer to seeing what to do.
As far as I can see the relevant task I'm trying to use (ant:symlink)
has no dependencies (as indicated on
http://ant.apache.org/manual/install.html#librarydependencies). However,
it doesn't seem to do anything (and yes, I am running on a linux machine ;))
I've tried adding xalan (as per the bug report) though I think that
might have been something of a cargo-cultism (I assume the point of
doing that is to satisfy the ant dependencies).
Am I still being really stupid?
Thank you Brett!

Yes, they are included by default. You may need to add a dependency on any extra
libs that you usually install in ANT_HOME/lib (eg xalan) and put it in the root
classloader (see the FAQ)
