Cool, I like this. I was trying awhile ago to use the maven properties (e.g. maven.id, maven.src.dir) in my build file, but of course they weren't defined. If I understand this right, I could call a generic maven target at the beginning of my build file to parse the project descriptor and then the maven properties would be available for use.
This seems like a fairly general use item; is there any chance it could be added to Ant itself? Perhaps the 1.5 version before it's released? I'm making a fairly na�ve guess, but couldn't this also solve all of the duplication I see in the plugin files I browsed. There is a comment about waiting until the references in version 1.5, but I guess I don't fully understand the problem. Sorry if I made some wrong statements, I just wanted to comment that I like the maven-ant task and got a little carried away. - Stephen -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> For additional commands, e-mail: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
