If you can get one script language to work, it shouldn't be a big leap to get other ones working too. Especially since maven will do anything ant can do. If it's not working in maven, try writing it in ant first. Once you've worked out the problem in ant, it's usually little more than a cut-and-paste job to get it into maven.

(as long as the right jars are in my ant/lib directory...) I'd like to be able to do this in a maven.xml file under Maven 1.0.2. Is this possible? My first choice would be Groovy (or perhaps Beanshell) as I don't want to learn Python, and am not sure JavaScript gives me the file access that I need. (I know Groovy has its warts, but it works fairly well for me in short scripts.) I've thrashed around a bit and can't seem to get any language to work in the <ant:script> tag. I did manage to get the following to work: <jython:script> print "This is a jython script" print "My Maven POM's name is", pom.getName() print "If the POM has a name, then the context passing is working" </jython:script> After putting xmlns:jython="jelly:jython" in the root <project> tag and the (correct?) jar files in Maven's path. I've looked in the maven site, the mailing lists, and done Google searches, and can't find any documentation or examples of how to do this. I thrashed around for far too long with the only progress being the jython:script test code above. I there a way to do this in Maven 1.0.2? Is it documented? If not, will Maven 1.1 (with ant 1.6.x) make it easier? Thanks, Sean -- ------------------------------------------------------------------------ --- M.
