I think you have two problems - first, I don't think you can use the
reference directly in your ant script (though I don't know why).
Instead, you need to de-reference by setting it to a property value.
Something like this:
<property name="cp1"
refid="maven.dependency.classpath"/>
<echo message="maven.dependency.classpath is ${cp1}"/>
<echo message=""/>
<property name="cp2" refid="maven.compile.classpath"/>
<echo message="maven.compile.classpath is ${cp2}"/>
<echo message=""/>
<property name="cp3" refid="maven.runtime.classpath"/>
<echo message="maven.runtime.classpath is ${cp3}"/>
<echo message=""/>
<property name="cp4" refid="maven.test.classpath"/>
<echo message="maven.test.classpath is ${cp4}"/>
<echo message=""/>
<property name="cp5" refid="maven.plugin.classpath"/>
<echo message="maven.plugin.classpath is ${cp5}"/>
<echo message=""/>
Secondly, you appear to want a directory value (perhaps basedir?),
rather than a path-like structure like the classpath.
Hope this is helpful...

Subject: Re: M2 antrun plugin problem
Today I encounter the same scenario.
Dont think refid can be passed to <taskdef>??
antrun's test6 does not cover this case.
suggestion?
