Issues with AntRun Plugin and Maven
I started seeing the following error today when using Maven and the AntRun Plugin.
[INFO] [antrun:run {execution: default}]
[INFO] Executing tasks
[INFO] ------------------------------------------------------------------------
[ERROR] BUILD ERROR
[INFO] ------------------------------------------------------------------------
[INFO] Error executing ant tasks
Embedded error: java.lang.IllegalAccessError: tried to access method
org.apache.tools.ant.launch.Locator.decodeUri(Ljava/lang/String;)Ljava/lang/String;
from class org.apache.tools.ant.AntClassLoader
Searching the internet provided no results, so I was pretty stumped - especially since this error didn't happen on my MacBook Pro. It happened on AppFuse's Bamboo server (Linux), but not locally. Luckily, I was able to reproduce it on my Windows box and discovered the solution: upgrade to a newer version of Maven. I was using 2.0.6/2.0.7 and upgrading to 2.0.9 fixed the problem.
BTW, when is the Ant project going to release a new version of Ant? The current 1.7.0 version doesn't support spaces in path names, which seems like a pretty big issue to me (especially for Windows users).
