Hi!
I'd like to know what you think about the following problem:
One of my colleagues use the maven-antrun-plugin to execute an ant task which
is not available through a native maven plugin (the openjpa-maven-plugin
currently only implements the 'enhance' mojo, but no mappingtool support). He
was able to link this to the process-classes phase, but now likes is to
additionally invoke this step MANUALLY.
This is the antrun plugin config he used:
<plugin>
<artifactId>maven-antrun-plugin</artifactId>
<executions>
<execution>
<id>mappingtool</id>
<!-- todo: make this a manual target -->
<phase>process-classes</phase>
<configuration>
<tasks>
<java classname="org.apache.openjpa.jdbc.meta.MappingTool"
classpathref="maven.runtime.classpath"
dir="target/classes" fork="true"
args="-action buildSchema -foreignKeys false" />
</tasks>
</configuration>
<goals>
<goal>run</goal>
</goals>
</execution>
</executions>
</plugin>
While I personally would simply extend the openjpa-maven-plugin to also support
the missing tasks (as I did with it's predecessor, the kodo-maven-plugin
http://ns1.backwork.net/git/index.php?p=kodo-maven-plugin.git), this is not
always an option for everyone (my colleague never wrote a mojo until now).
So, is there a way call something like:
$> mvn antrun:execute -Dantrun.id=mappingtool
or kind of?
If not (which I expect from looking at the source), do you also think that
there is a need for something?
Plus: is it possible to implement this? All the defined ant tasks are usually
bound to a special phase, so if we call the antrun plugin manually
$> mvn antrun:run
the maven-antrun-plugin gets no execution information at all, because it has no
phase bound to it. Is there a way to get all task-defs even the ones from other
phases, so we could iterate over them and grab the one with the right 'id'?
Hope my post isn't too confusing ;)

PS: I told him to extract his tasks to a seperate build.xml, so he could call
it via ant. But to be honest, having the need to call ant natively doesn't
really feel comfortable.
