Thanks Stefan.. I thought cab was removed due to this error message.. The "not found" message is a bit misleading.
Failed to execute goal org.apache.maven.plugins:maven-antrun-plugin:1.3:run (build.cab) on project xxxxxxx: An Ant BuildException has occured: Problem: failed to create task or type cab Cause: the class org.apache.tools.ant.taskdefs.optional.Cab was not found. This looks like one of Ant's optional components. Action: Check that the appropriate optional JAR exists in -ANT_HOME\lib -the IDE Ant configuration dialogs Do not panic, this is a common problem. The commonest cause is a missing JAR.
