Using Ant and Maven

[Mike Dougherty]

I've got all of about 2 hours experience with Maven. So far it's looking pretty good. It seems to be purposed toward an OSS project, but I think we will still be able to use it for internal projects. I've been able to generate a simple site with Javadocs, a CheckStyle report, and some other stuff.

Anyway, we have a lot of time and effort into our pretty sophisticated ant build files. Is there a way I can use both? Can I call out to my ant build.xml from within the project.xml? If so, how?

I don't think I am going to be able to convince the powers that be to just drop Ant and re-do everything with Maven. If they are going to buy off on using Maven it's going to have to work in conjunction with Ant for some time to come. I did notice a section in the "Ant Guide" that will be devoted to this purpose, but the information isn't there yet.

Thanks,
Mike
