Hi Franz, I thought that would be the case. I have found a bug report that describes my issue but it was created over a year ago so I don't hold out much hope of it being fixed soon.
http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/MNG-1935?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:worklog-tabpanel We have an old application (started in the late 90's) that is built using ANT scripts. It would be very painful to migrate the build to Maven. So the next best thing is to use a maven repository for library file management and the dependencies task to manage the dependencies in ANT. Up till now the library files have not been managed. The libraries used in the build are not the same as used at run time. Some of the library files required by the application are no longer maintained and I don't know what version they are. We also have some custom libraries. So I have created our own maven repository and added the libraries using artifact:install. It will be another exercise to get the application working with known versions of the libraries. I have set the POM files up as per the instructions on http://maven.apache.org/ant-tasks.html. Is there another way to access the maven repository from within an ANT script? Any suggestions are gratefully received.
