Issue in calling ant file from maven

[shinjan sen]

Hi,
I am using maven-antrun-plugin to call an ant script which has got the usage
of <junt> tag. I have added junit as a dependency in my dependency list in
the pom.xml. when I try to execute the same I get an error stating that ant
couldn't understand the task junit.
Can anyone please help me in debuggin this.

My pom.xml is :


<project>
 <modelVersion>4.0.0</modelVersion>
 <artifactId>my-test-app</artifactId>
 <groupId>my-test-group</groupId>
 <version>1.0-SNAPSHOT</version>

 <build>
   <plugins>

     <plugin>
       <artifactId>maven-antrun-plugin</artifactId>
       <executions>
         <execution>
           <phase>install</phase>
           <configuration>
             <tasks>
   <property name="path.string" refid="maven.compile.classpath"/>
               <ant antfile="test_build.xml" inheritRefs="true">
                 <target name="test"/>
               </ant>
             </tasks>
           </configuration>
           <goals>
             <goal>run</goal>
           </goals>
