    It's planed for page 6 and 7: http://www.objectstyle.org/confluence/
    display/WOL/Guided+Maven+Example

    Until then you could play with the example.

    It's also possible to use your existing ant scripts with maven:

    (From an example pom.xml:)

    <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>

    <project>
             ....
              <build>
                     <defaultGoal>install</defaultGoal>
                     <plugins>

                             <plugin>
                                     <artifactId>maven-antrun-plugin</
    artifactId>
                                     <executions>
                                             <execution>
                                                     <phase>install</phase>
                                                     <configuration>
                                                             <tasks>
                                                                     <!--
                                                                             
    ant echo
                                                                     -->
                                                                    <echo>I am the echo ant task</echo>
                                                             </tasks>
                                                     </configuration>
                                                     <goals>
                                                             <goal>run</
    goal>
                                                     </goals>
                                             </execution>
                                     </executions>
                             </plugin>

                     </plugins>
             </build>
    ...
    </project>
