maven calling an ant target

[Charles Simms]

I have tried to call an ant target from maven after the install part of the life cycle using eclipse but am having little success. Does anybody have any example they could send.

I have tried to follow the maven example but does not work.

Hi,
what exactly would you like to reach? Call an Ant Target inside an configured POM ? Or did i misunderstand something ? May be you can give a little output ? Error messages etc. ?
Kind regards

Correct I just want maven to call the ant target “hello” after maven has called install in the life cycle.

I have created a simple plugin, trying to call my ant and mojos script, it is failiing to bind these to my POM and getting the error:

Maven cannot calculate your build plan, given the following information:
Tasks:

- install
Current project:
Group-Id: com.smart421.ppb
Artifact-Id: E-Commerce
Version: 1.0-SNAPSHOT
From file: C:\Projects\E-Commerce\pom.xml
Error message: Mojo: hello does not exist in plugin: org.apache.maven.plugins:maven-plugin-plugin:2.3.
Root error message: Mojo: hello does not exist in plugin: org.apache.maven.plugins:maven-plugin-plugin:2.3

Here is part of my pom file:

<build>
<plugins>
<plugin>
<artifactId>maven-antrun-plugin</artifactId>
<version>1.1</version>
<executions>
<execution>
<id>hello</id>
<phase>install</phase>
<goals>
</goals>
<configuration><tasks>hello</tasks></configuration>
</execution>
</executions>
</plugin>
</plugins>
</build>

</project>

It is not calling my ant target. Where should I put my ant script?
