Hi Adrian,
What you can do is to use the exec task from ant in your goal.
http://ant.apache.org/manual/CoreTasks/exec.html
In the NSIS plugin we called the nsis.exe with :
<!--==================================================================-->
<!-- Generate NSIS .exe file -->
<!--==================================================================-->
<goal name="nsis:installer"
description="Generate NSIS .exe file"
prereqs="nsis:generate-project,nsis:generate-setup">
<j:set var="script" value="${maven.build.dir}/setup.nsi"/>
<util:file var="nsisExeFile" name="${maven.nsis.exe}" />
<j:if test="${!nsisExeFile.exists()}">
<fail>The NSIS executable '${maven.nsis.exe}' could not be found</fail>
</j:if>
<!-- call makensis.exe with the setup.nsi file -->
<ant:exec executable="${maven.nsis.exe}" failonerror="true">
<arg value="/V2"/>
<arg value="${script}"/>
</ant:exec>
<ant:echo>Installer ${maven.build.dir}/${maven.nsis.final.name}.exe
generated successfully</ant:echo>
</goal>
You can use properties defined in your build and environment properties
(PATH, ..) with the property tag in ant :
<property environment="env"/>
<echo message="Number of Processors = ${env.NUMBER_OF_PROCESSORS}"/>
<echo message="ANT_HOME is set to = ${env.ANT_HOME}"/>
http://ant.apache.org/manual/CoreTasks/property.html
Or you can simply call an ant script from maven with the ant:ant task.
