Maven antrun: pass maven properties to ant

Question

I am trying to pass maven properties (defined through profiles) to a antrun execution:

Answer 1

You can pass the properties by defining new Ant properties (using the property tag in your target within the configuration). So for example:

    4.0.0

    com.test
    test-module
    test-module
    SNAPSHOT

    
        false
    

    
        
            customProfile
            
                true
            
        
    

    
        
            
                org.apache.maven.plugins
                maven-antrun-plugin
                1.7
                
                    
                        compile
                        compile
                        
                            
                                
                                
                                
                            
                        
                        
                            run
                        
                    
                
            
        
    

When I execute mvn compile on this pom the output is:

main:
[echo] Custom Ant Property is: false
[echoproperties] #Ant properties
[echoproperties] #Thu Aug 08 17:17:30 CEST 2013
[echoproperties] ant.project.name=maven-antrun-
[echoproperties] ant.version=Apache Ant(TM) version 1.8.2 compiled on December 20 2010
[echoproperties] antProperty=false

and when the command is mvn -PcustomProfile compile then the output is:

main:
[echo] Custom Ant Property is: true
[echoproperties] #Ant properties
[echoproperties] #Thu Aug 08 17:18:30 CEST 2013
[echoproperties] ant.project.name=maven-antrun-
[echoproperties] ant.version=Apache Ant(TM) version 1.8.2 compiled on December 20 2010
[echoproperties] antProperty=true

This works using maven 3.0.5.
