Manos,
Thanks for the reply. This makes good sense to me.

My project includes dependencies on several JavaScript libraries,

antrun goal to the phase in which dependencies are downloaded. However,
after consulting the lifecycle reference
<http://maven.apache.org/guides/introduction/introduction-to-the-lifecycle.html#Lifecycle_Reference>,
I cannot find a Maven phase in which dependencies are downloaded.
If those are dependencies native to Maven they will be downloaded
automatically from the central repository or a repository you specify.
If however by "dependencies" you just mean your project depends on
them and they are not available in the maven repo (you can check for
example using [1]) then using antrun will be fine. If you just need to
package them along with everything else choose any phase before
"p[ackage" (e.g. "prepare-package"). If you want to do more stuff with
them (i remember you do some JS pre-compile to jave stuff?) then fetch
them during "generate-sources" or something.
hth,
Manos
