Sorry for the lack of reply on this issue. My hard drive had crashed, and I couldn't
get to my email until now. I can clear some time to revamp this task to use
MavenSession directly, instead of being dependent upon MAVEN-784's changes, which in
the light of day don't seem too good an idea.

Summary: improve the functionality and feature set of the existing MavenTask

Environment: all environments, running Ant
Description:
The current version of MavenTask offers only the most limited functionality, limits
the user in goal achievement per maven invocation, and seems arcane in its function
when run against the most current version of maven.
I propose to give this task a facelift, and offer every option via Ant which would be
available to the user from the command line, including multiple goals, property
definition, and all of the options like goal listing and debug, which are listed from
the help screen (maven -h).
Attached to this issue is a complete rewrite of MavenTask, from the ground up. It
invokes maven via Forehead, to avoid recoding the complex classloader logic; to reduce
the required classpath libraries declared in the build.xml file; and to simplify the
function of this task itself. It allows subtasks for goals and properties, and resets
the system properties of its execution environment when complete.
Please note that the new functionality does not preclude backward compatibility. I
have re-added the old attribute methods in order to soothe the transition from old to
new versions.
Invocation in the new task would look like this:
<project name="something" basedir="." default="hello">
<property name="maven.home" value="c:/maven" />
<taskdef name="maven" class="org.apache.maven.ant.MavenTask">
<classpath>
<pathelement location="${maven.home}/lib/maven.jar" />
</classpath>
</taskdef>
<target name="hello">
<maven mavenHome="${maven.home}"
jdkToolsClasses="c:/java/lib/tools.jar"
foreheadClasses="${maven.home}/lib/forehead.jar"
dir="${basedir}"
debug="true"
showStackTraces="true">
<property name="my.property" value="test" />
<goal name="say-hello" />
</maven>
</target>
</project>
