Platform Deployment Build Ant

To integrate Ant with Maven you have to use maven-antrun-plugin, so you just have to add the following section in your pom.xml file of the parent project:

<build>

<plugins>

<plugin>

<groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId>

<artifactId>maven-antrun-plugin</artifactId>

<executions>

<execution>

<phase>compile</phase>

<configuration>

<!-- Put the Ant Tasks that you wish to call here -->

<tasks>

<echo>Copy Resources </echo>

<copy file="${basedir}/source" tofile="${basedir}/target/" overwrite="true" />

</tasks>

</configuration>

<goals>

<goal>run</goal>

</goals>

</execution>

</executions>

</plugin>

</plugins>

</build>

As you can see in tasks section you can add any task you want. This is the same as target section in build.xml ant file.
