maven works separately but fails within ANT

There is relevant part of ANT task



and it fails on attempt to load dependent files



but the same pom.xml works fine when executed outside ANT.

mvn -DskipTests=true compile

any ideas ?
any hint will be appreciated.

looks like ANT uses something different for mvn then maven does itself.

used:
Apache Maven 3.1.1.
Apache Ant(TM) version 1.8.2

The Maven command within Ant does not exactly match the Maven comment you showed from the command line. Could that be the problem?

Also, please post the error you are seeing with the Ant run. It's hard to offer assistance if we don't know what the problem is.

problem solved adding parameter: mavenHome="${env.M2_HOME}"
