Maven antrun with sequential ant-contrib fails to run
- by codevour
We have a special routine to explode files in a subfolder into extensions, which will be copied and jared into single extension files. For this special approach I wanted to use the maven-antrun-plugin, for the sequential iteration and jar packaging through the dirset, we need the library ant-contrib.
The upcoming plugin configuration fails with an error. What did I misconfigured? Thank you.
