Maven custom encryption plugin

Question

I translated Ant script into Maven 2 and I have this problem: Ant script uses a pretty simple java class to encrypt files this way:

<target name="encrypt">
    <java classname="DESEncrypter">
        <classpath>
            <pathelement path="...classpath for this thing..." />
        </classpath>
        <arg line="fileToEncrypt.properties fileEncrypted.properties" />
    </java>
</target>

This DESEncrypteris a compiled class, the source of which is not a project, which I am converting, but is used similarly in other projects. Maybe I need to create a maven plugin for reuse, but I don't want to do it now. My question is: in which directory do I put the class DESEncrypterand how to call it? Using exec: java plugin maybe? I do not think encrypter belongs to directories src, testor resources.

Obviously, I don't want to include the encrypter class in the final product, just encrypted files.

( , , antrun exec: java )

Answer 3

You might just want to use the AntRun plugin, it should allow you to execute anything from Ant with a minimal amount of fuss. You will need a dependency on the / jar class that you used, but providing it with the amount of test, or provided that it will not pack it into your final product.
