| Maven Ant Tasks |
| |
| The Mavent Ant Tasks allow several of Maven's artifact handling features to be used |
| from within an Ant build. These include: |
| |
| * <Dependency management> - including transitive dependencies, scope recognition and SNAPSHOT handling |
| |
| * <Artifact deployment> - deployment to a Maven repository (file integrated, other with extensions) |
| |
| * <POM processing> - for reading and writing a Maven 2 <<<pom.xml>>> file |
| |
| The Ant tasks can be downloaded from the {{{./download.html} download page}}. |
| |
| * System Requirements |
| |
| *-----------------+------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------+ |
| | <<JDK>> | JDK version 1.5 or above is required (This is due to dependencies on internal Maven libraries.) |
| *-----------------+------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------+ |
| | <<Ant>> | Ant version 1.6.x, 1.7.x or 1.8.x is required |
| *-----------------+------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------+ |
| |
| * Usage |
| |
| General instructions for installing and using the Maven Ant Tasks can be found on the |
| {{{./installation.html}installation page}} and the {{{./usage.html}usage page}} respectively. |
| Some more specific use cases are described in the examples given below. Last but not least, |
| users occasionally contribute additional examples, tips or errata to the |
| {{{http://docs.codehaus.org/display/MAVENUSER/Maven+Ant+Tasks}project's wiki page}}. |
| |
| * Examples |
| |
| Several common usage examples are provided for the following tasks: |
| |
| * {{{./examples/dependencies.html}Dependencies task}} |
| |
| * {{{./examples/install-deploy.html}Install and Deploy tasks}} |
| |
| * {{{./examples/pom.html}Pom task}} |
| |
| * {{{./examples/write-pom.html}WritePom task}} |
| |
| * {{{./examples/mvn.html}Mvn task}} |
| |
| * Getting Help |
| |
| In case you still have questions regarding the Maven Ant Tasks usage, please have a look at the {{{./faq.html}FAQ}} and feel |
| free to contact the {{{./mail-lists.html}user mailing list}}. The posts to the mailing list are archived and could |
| already contain the answer to your question as part of an older thread. Hence, it is also worth browsing/searching |
| the {{{./mail-lists.html}mail archive}}. |
| |
| If you feel like the Ant tasks are missing a feature or have a defect, you can fill a feature request or bug report in our |
| {{{./issue-tracking.html}issue tracker}}. When creating a new issue, please provide a comprehensive description of your |
| concern. Especially for fixing bugs it is crucial that the developers can reproduce your problem. For this reason, |
| entire debug logs, Ant build scripts or most preferably little demo projects attached to the issue are very much appreciated. |
| Of course, patches are welcome, too. Contributors can check out the project from our |
| {{{./source-repository.html}source repository}} and will find supplementary information in the |
| {{{http://maven.apache.org/guides/development/guide-helping.html}guide to helping with Maven}}. |
