java - Using Maven in Ant for jar dependencies -

am new maven comfortable ant, way maven downloads jars , dependencies, want have maven dependency included in ant build script. have seen how utilize here jar files downloaded in .m2 folder, instead need jars downloaded in lib folder of project. can done or not,? if can can please suggest me how it.

it legit question.

using maven ant tasks utilize generic maven repository location, because benefit maven projects, not local.

maven uses per default shared cache local project, because downloading commons-lang per project sort of ridiculous.

you can specify localrepository location execution (see http://maven.apache.org/ant-tasks/reference.html#localrepository) if like.

also, user says, ivy match usecase too. if need download dependencies, ivy that. maven it, contains more, , depends if want explore these options.

java maven ant jar build
