Subject: Re: Accessing properties in Maven that are set in Ant subbuilds?
not that I am aware of. I'd suggest creating a temporary properties file at the end of your ant build with the values you need, and reading that back in maven afterwards.

Does anyone know if it's possible to access properties defined in calls to
Ant from Maven? Ant seems to see Maven's properties perfectly well, but not
vice versa
For example in my maven.xml
<property name="mymaven.prop" value="hello"/> <goal name="foo"> <ant target = "bar" dir="." antfile="build.xml"/> <echo message="Ant property ${myant.prop}"/> </goal>
and in the build.xml in the same directory:
<target name="bar"> <echo>Maven property: ${mymaven.prop}</echo> <property name="myant.prop" value="world"/> </target>
Only $mymaven.prop gets echoed.
I suspect this might actually be an Ant feature (properties in a master build are visible to sub-builds but not vice versa), but you never know - there might be some clever and Mavenish way to get round it.
