Fair enough...
I had never heard of the maven-invoker-plugin. How about for the
first part of his question? Which plug to use for copying a directory?

Ah, the universal antrun solution. Guys, maven is better than ant, why
do you keep using ant?
For copying the built file use dependency plugin:
<build>
<plugins>
<plugin>
<groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId>
<artifactId>maven-dependency-plugin</artifactId>
<executions>
<execution>
<id>copy-installed</id>
<phase>install</phase>
<goals>
<goal>copy</goal>
</goals>
<configuration>
<overWriteReleases>true</overWriteReleases>
<overWriteSnapshots>true</overWriteSnapshots>
<stripVersion>true</stripVersion>
<artifactItems>
<artifactItem>
<groupId>${project.groupId}</groupId>
<artifactId>${project.artifactId}</artifactId>
<version>${project.version}</version>
<type>${project.packaging}</type>
</artifactItem>
</artifactItems>
<outputDirectory>/home/stefan/jboss/server/default/deploy</
outputDirectory>
</configuration>
</execution>
</executions>
</plugin>
</plugins>
</build>
To invoke things from other poms, use maven-invoker-plugin.

that's the right way though!
In your specific case you could try
<build>
...
<plugin>
<artifactId>maven-antrun-plugin</artifactId>
<executions>
<!-- bind to the "install" phase of the default lifecycle -->
<execution>
<phase>install</phase>
<goals>
<goal>run</goal>
</goals>
<configuration>
<tasks>
<copy todir="${todir}">
<fileset dir="${fromdir}" />
</copy>
</tasks>
</configuration>
</execution>
<execution>
<!-- not sure in which phase you want to execute your sql
command -->
<phase>???</phase>
<goals>
<goal>run</goal>
</goals>
<configuration>
<tasks>
<!-- ant task to call subproject... -->
</tasks>
</configuration>
</execution>
</executions>
</plugin>
...
</build>

Hi *,
there's one point I do not understand with maven: how can I use it
to
accomplish some tasks that doesn't seem to fit into the standard
phases. The question arised when implementing continuous
integration. For this I want to
- Copy a artefact to another directory. (more precisely: to deploy
the generated war-file to the app server) This is no job for
deploying something to a maven repository or generating a site, but
just a plain copy task.
- Call a special goal of a subproject. (more precisely: my db
subproject uses the hibernate-tools-plugin to execute some sql on
the
database) The subproject includes a plugin for a specific task,
but I
want to call this from the major build)
With maven 1.x, I wrote a maven.xml and defined goals for this. But
what is the maven 2 way? Must I write a plugin?
Thanks for your thoughts,
Martin.
