Alexis, i've experimented with this as well and ended up with the same solution as you. I'm afraid that may be the only option for now.

Hi all, As recommended by the antrun plugin<http://maven.apache.org/plugins/maven-antrun-plugin/introduction.html>, I'd like to "move all my Ant tasks to a build.xml file and just call it from the POM using Ant's <ant/> task<http://ant.apache.org/manual/CoreTasks/ant.html> ." I need to use some of the Maven properties (${project.build.directory}, ${ project.build.outputDirectory}, etc.) inside the build.xml, unfortunately it seems that those properties are not inherited from the Maven Project. To be precise, Maven properties are available in the Maven <tasks> tag but not passed to the <ant> task. <configuration> <tasks> <!-- Maven properties are available inside the <tasks>... --> <echo>${project.build.directory}</echo> <!-- but not in the build.xml file! --> <ant dir="${basedir}" antfile="build.xml" /> </tasks> </configuration> The only workaround I found out is to explicitly declare the properties before or inside the <ant> tag. But you will agree that this not really neat nor efficient. <configuration> <tasks> <!-- Pass all the properties that may be needed in the ant file --> <property name="project.build.directory" value="${ project.build.directory}"/> <ant dir="${basedir}" antfile="build-test.xml" /> </tasks> </configuration> Does anyone have a solution please? Thanks in advance for your help, Alexis
