Answer 1

In my case, i already had the maven-ant-taksk.jar into directory 'eclipse\plugins\org.apache.ant_1.8.3.v20120321-1730\lib'.

I'm using eclipse, so what i needed was, go to Ant Runtime on menu Windows > Preferences > Ant > Runtime, select "Ant Home Entries", click on "Ant Home"button e select the Ant home directory

'eclipse\plugins\org.apache.ant_1.8.3.v20120321-1730\lib'

It worked!
