Hi Brill,
You could try the mant (maven-ant) plugin library I'm working on.
Essentially it handles all the ant stuff so that you just need to
write a single class like the one below that wraps ant
webdoclet - add required dependencies to your pom.xml as per usual.
Just copy an existing project eg https://svn.codehaus.org/mojo/trunk/
mojo/mojo-sandbox/webdoclet-maven-plugin/ and you could have all of
your ant tasks done in an hour, one mojo per task.
---
(sample-ear-proj in webdoclet-maven-plugin subdirectory has example
usage)
package org.codehaus.mojo.webdoclet;
/**
* @goal webdoclet
* @phase generate-sources
* @requiresDependencyResolution test
*/
public class WebDocletMojo extends AbstractMojo
{
/**
* @parameter expression="${project}"
* @required
* @readonly
*/
private MavenProject project;
/**
* @parameter
* @required
*/
private String task;
public void execute()
throws MojoExecutionException, MojoFailureException
{
// mappings: mant autofills in the ant task parameters on
the LHS with
// the maven properties on the RHS so users don't need to
supply them
String[] mappings = new String[] {
"@destDir",
MantGoal.JAVA_GEN,
"deploymentdescriptor/@destDir", MantGoal.WEB_INF_GEN,
"fileset/@dir",
MantGoal.JAVA,
"jbosswebxml/@destDir",
MantGoal.WEB_INF_GEN
};
String taskdefClass = "xdoclet.modules.web.WebDocletTask";
new MantGoal(this, project, taskdefClass, task,
mappings).execute();
}
}
Just check out codehaus mojo project and build mant first - directly
under the mojo-sandbox directory.

You are right. There isn't a migration strategy from maven1 to
maven2 as I know, or can see. I have read that there will be groovy
supported if it reaches the final version state. Within groovy ant
is supported. Currently it helps you to start here:
http://ant.apache.org/manual/antexternal.html
You should also check in advance the groovy site to check if your
requirements can match the groovy functions for ant integration.
http://groovy.codehaus.org/Ant+Scripting
As the plugins are distributed in jar file format it isn't easy to
share your current ant scripts. Maybe you can think about to
package your ant scripts in the jar file, extract and use it. I
know, it isn't a nice way but maybe other people here have good
ideas how to do that or can provide a better way.
Good luck

I'm about to embark on writing a maven 2 plugin for Antenna.
Antenna has existing Ant tasks defined (in fact its an Ant task lib).
In Maven 1 it was fairly easy to implement a Maven plugin using
ant tasks
because you could simple call them int he plugin... how would that
type of
conversion be done for Maven 2?
So far the best I can see is to create a new Mojo that mirrors the
Ant
task(s).
Is there documentation some place on converting an Ant task to a
maven goal?
