JProbe doesn’t currently have support for Maven built in, beyond what’s already provided in the product, thus Maven is not “officially” supported. That is, we don’t have Maven specific properties and documentation. We provide the basic Maven sample to show how Maven integration can be done by using our existing Ant tasks.

We use Ant because Ant tasks are the fully supported automation API which we provide. We adapted that support to Maven because some people were looking for basic Maven capability.

We do not currently use Maven ourselves on the JProbe development team, so our knowledge of it is somewhat limited at present. Our Quest Support team can't help you with this because they're not Maven experts, either. It's not that we don't want to help you ... but we don't currently have the knowledge about this particular domain.

If there are specific tasks or support items that would be helpful, beyond what we provide today in the simple demo, we would be happy to hear about them so that we can open a change-request for a future release.

In the future if we do develop anything further for Maven, I'll let you know.
