I want to call some ant tasks when I run maven.

I have read all about the maven antrun plugin and found some
examples, but the documentation is a wee bit hard
for me to understand, and does not lead me to what I wish to accomplish.

I want all my ant tasks in a build.xml file (not in the pom.xml).

But when I execute:  mvn compile install

I want it to run (by default) one or more ant tasks (in a specific order) that are in the build.xml.

Is there a way to do this?  When I type $mvn compile install I want
the build process to be oblivous to the fact that ant is being called,
unless there is a problem.

If the ant tasks fails, I want to fail the build as well.

thanks

I would assume the following is a good example of this kind of thing: <http://www.sonatype.com/books/maven-book/reference/lifecycle.html>.

You would use the "compile" phase instead of "pre-clean", and the inline task configuration would just use an "ant" task to call a target in your buildfile.

I don't know whether a failure in the Ant script will cause a top-level build failure.
