1. There is a task to resolve/retrieve dependencies. 2. The dependency task can create classpath and fileset refids for the dependencies, and per-dependency properties, so you shouldn't have to worry about copy jars to and fro. 3. There are examples at the link above. ________________________________________ From: Zk W [mpc8...@gmail.com] Sent: Wednesday, May 13, 2015 10:00 PM To: users@maven.apache.org Subject: [EXTERNAL] dependency management with ant quick question Hi All We are new to Maven and we are an ant shop. We like to use Maven's dependency management feature, not ivy. 1- Can we just use Maven's dependency management feature to work with our ant build script ? 2- Since .m2 is the default folder for all the jars, do we use ant copy task to copy jars from .m2 folder to different project folders to compile properly ? 3. Are there examples out there that use ant for build purpose in conjunction with maven's dependency management ?
