Thanks, but it was not quite what I was looking for, rather the other way
around. I do not want to do anything with my exsisting Ant-file (since this
is a project and hence an ant file delvirered by some third party). All the
handling of the JAR-file must be performed from within the POM.
I have partly solved it by including
<build>
<plugins>
:
<plugin>
<groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId>
<artifactId>maven-jar-plugin</artifactId>
<configuration>
<classesDirectory>${basedir}/build/classes</classesDirectory>
</configuration>
</plugin>
</plugins>
</build>
Where I tell Maven where to look for the class-files for Maven to build the
JAR. The class-files are a result of the Ant-script.
It might happen that this is the preferred way of doing it, since I will end
up with a Maven-generated JAR which better matches the Maven2 repo concept
(since the JAR generated from Maven contains both pom.properties and the
pom.xml, which the Ant generated JAR file does not.)...
Any thoughts on this ?
Regards
Arne
