Based on your link, I don't need a profile but a (plugin) dependency to
antcontrib to use the if tag.
My POM will the look more and more like an ant script. Maven is supposed to
use profiles for such use cases. Why is there a limitation NOT to support
${basedir} property in profile activation ? I
your suggestion works fine. Thanks to helping me solving this issue.

I hope you understand that antrun is meant to be a stop-gap solution - a
way to ensure your ant code works in your project. Now that you have your
project working you should really consider creating a plugin:goal using the
script so you can extract ant from your pom.

I agree about being better to create a plugin.
Will just have to find time for doing it, and good arguments to spend time
on a project that builds fine ;-)
I just found
http://maven.apache.org/guides/plugin/guide-ant-plugin-development.html so
this will be a nice way to package my antrun script
this will be a nice way to package my antrun script as a mojo
but according to
http://www.mail-archive.com/users@maven.apache.org/msg61137.html, there is
no support for classpath defined in the plugin pom to setup ant taskdefs.
That would be a quick and simpel way to setup a maven2 plugin
Why would you need to duplicate it? Have the antrun code only run if a
property is set - and only set that property under the profiles you want it
to execute under.
You can see how to active a block of ant code here in my book:
Hello,
I'm using a code generator, and I'd like to avoid regeneration of code on
each build.
I've set a profile to launch the generation using the antrun plugin
The profile is active based on a generated file missing :
profile
idsql2java/id
activation
file
Not ideal, but you could set up another profile that has the full path
from the parent, and specify that when running from the parent ie
sql2java_top or something.

The ant code required to make the generator work is huge, and duplicating it
would be worst as running it twice.
Thanks anyway for the suggestion
