I've tried to above code that was changed a little (don't want to use a regex to find and replace but rather than directly inject the result in a file). I would expect at least to see in the logs the result from but not luck. I've checked the local repository and have all the dependencies for ant downloaded. Any suggestions are more than welcome. Thanks alot. <code> <dependencies> <dependency> <groupId>ant</groupId> <artifactId>ant-nodeps</artifactId> <version>1.6.5</version> </dependency> </dependencies> <build> <filters> <filter>${basedir}/target/classes/filter.properties</filter> </filters> <resources> <resource> <directory>src/main/resources</directory> <filtering>true</filtering> </resource> <!-- <resource> <directory>src/test/resources</directory> <filtering>true</filtering> </resource> --> </resources> <pluginManagement> <plugins> <plugin> <artifactId>maven-compiler-plugin</artifactId> <configuration> <source>1.5</source> <target>1.5</target> </configuration> </plugin> <plugin> <groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId> <artifactId>maven-antrun-plugin</artifactId> <executions> <execution> <id>set-build-time</id> <phase>generate-resources</phase> <goals> <goal>run</goal> </goals> <configuration> <tasks> <!-- Safety --> <mkdir dir="${project.build.directory}" /> <tstamp> <format property="last.updated" pattern="yyyy-MM-dd hh:mm:ss" /> </tstamp> <echo file="${basedir}/target/classes/filter.properties" message="build.time=${last.updated}" /> <echo message="================================" /> <echo message="================================" /> <echo message="================================" /> <echo message="build.time=${last.updated}" /> <echo message="================================" /> <echo message="================================" /> <echo message="================================" /> </tasks> </configuration> </execution> </executions> </plugin> <plugin> <groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId> <artifactId>maven-jar-plugin</artifactId> <configuration> <useDefaultManifestFile> true </useDefaultManifestFile> </configuration> </plugin> </plugins> </pluginManagement> </build> </code> Hi, I am struggling for a couple of days with maven-antrun-plugin to inject the timestamp in a property file.

Thanks for this great hint. Two comments: First, you need an extra dependency in that allows executing optional ant tasks: <plugin> ... <dependencies> <dependency> <groupId>ant</groupId> <artifactId>ant-nodeps</artifactId> <version>1.6.5</version> </dependency> </dependencies> </plugin> Second, you can also patch just the <em>generated</em> resource in the project's build directory, thus eleminating the need for the cleanup task. Maven guarantees that all POM-defined plugins are executed after default tasks in the respective lifecycle phases, we can safely assume that the resource file has already been processed and copied to the build directory.
