Hi there, Thanks a bunch for your responses. You pointed me in the right direction. I was wishing I could use the antrun plugin resources but without having to copy-paste or in other way break future updates of it. I'm drilling into the plugin's source right now and will post my result as soon as I have new information.
This plugin we're working on at my company will be open-sourced so if there is any interest I can post here the link to the project when we finish it. We have yet to crerate a Maven repository in our server, but even it that is not available the Maven Generated site will have all needed information including the source and package, until we publish the repository.
