Ant Tasks for Maven

Maven comes with a set of Ant tasks that can be used to utilize Maven's artifact handling features from within Ant. This includes:

  • 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 a Maven 2.0.x pom.xml file

The Ant tasks can be downloaded from Maven 2.0 download page.
