1. Maven is not Ant. But generally you can use Ant tasks in your Maven build, if you specify the right dependencies in your plugin execution etc. So you could arguably make this work just like it does in Ant, if you really wanted to. 2. What kind of resource files are you looking to acquire, and for what purpose? 3. If you can package the resource in a resource bundle, then you can use the maven-remote-resource-plugin to get it [a] . Or the dependency plugin's unpack mojo [b].
