From the docs: "This plugin provides the ability to run Ant tasks from within Maven 2."
Do I need to install Ant to run ant tasks or does the maven plugin already includes Ant? Thanks.

You can use the maven-antrun-plugin to invoke the ant build. Then use the build-helper-maven-plugin to attach the jar produced by ant to the project. The attached artifact will be installed/deployed alongside the pom. If you specify your project with packaging pom , Maven will not conflict with the ant build.
Run. The maven-antrun-plugin has only one goal, run . This allows Maven to run Ant tasks. To do so, there must be an existing project and maven-antrun-plugin must have its <target> tag configured (although it would still execute without the <target> tag, it would not do anything).
This plugin provides the ability to run Ant tasks from within Maven. You can even embed your Ant scripts in the POM! It is not the intention of this plugin to provide a means of polluting the POM, so it's encouraged to move all your Ant tasks to a build.
No, you don't need to install Ant. Maven will download all required dependencies.
