Properties dIon Gillard Arnaud Heritier

These settings allow you to customize the ant script generated with this plugin.

Property name Description Available Optional? Default value
maven.ant.excludeTests Holds a comma separated list of source file patterns that will be excluded in the generated Ant build, e.g. since 1.2 Yes
maven.ant.excludeTests=**/*Test.java,**/*Suite.java
maven.ant.generatebuild.file Sets the name of the ant buildfile to create. since 1.0 Yes ${basedir}/build.xml
maven.ant.use.properties

The maven plugin for ant adds two lines at the top of the generated buildfile :

<property file="build.properties"/> <property file="${user.home}/build.properties"/>

If you experience that your own properties are clashing with the ones used in the generated buildfile you can set this property to "false" to remove these 2 lines from the generated buildfile. Valid values are "true" or "false".

since 1.9 Yes true
maven.ant.use.multirepo Defines if you want to generate a script which will download dependencies from all your repositories. If false, the script will only download them from the first one (ibiblio by default). since 1.9 Yes true
