Maybe you should first grok what Maven does. Maven is not Ant, has a complete different model and does work more different than one might think in first place. You seem to try simply to transfrom an Ant build 1:1 to Maven - I assure you, you will not have a lot of fun with Maven, simply because it is not made for this. It's like using Word as PowerPoint replacement. It is possible, but limited and definitely no fun. Therefore, get first familiar with Maven's concepts: 1 project for 1 artifact, the build lifecycle and the dependency management. Avoid the antrun plugin in first place - it should be used only for very specialized tasks. To get you a picture e.g. our Maven build contains about ~300 projects and ~5 of them use Ant tasks. It is normally simply not necessary. If you don't intent to follow any Maven standards, you might as well stop using Maven, because it will not bring any value to you and your organization.
