I found a workaround that solved my problem. I put the build definition in
the POM within a profile. To the profile, I added a activation tag so that
the argument is needed to execute the ant targets not the other way around.
The downside is that I now need to add this argument when I build my project
manually, but I can live with that. If you find out why the argument doesn't
worked when I used it like I described before, I'd really like to hear it.
Thanks for your replies so far.
