This is quite a late answer to an old question, but I am pretty sure people will be interested in it. I just achieved to run multiple deployments using maven and ant tasks. The secret is to use a macrodef (or 2 for me as I hot deploy my apps in jetty and need to transfer a war and a xml file) and using a ant property file :

    maven-antrun-plugin
    1.7
    
        
            install
            
                
                    
                    
                        
                        
                        
                        
                        
                        
                        
                            
                            
                            
                        
                    
                    
                        
                        
                            
                            
                            
                                                                 
                        
                                                 
                         
                    
                
            
            
                run
            
        
    

Then you property file needs to be something like :

home.jetty.server.user=
home.jetty.server.port=
home.jetty.server.host=
home.jetty.server.baseDir=
home.jetty.server.webappsDir=
home.jetty.server.contextDir=
home.jetty.server.passphrase=
wap.jetty.server.user=
wap.jetty.server.port=
wap.jetty.server.host=
wap.jetty.server.baseDir=
wap.jetty.server.webappsDir=
wap.jetty.server.contextDir=
wap.jetty.server.passphrase=

etc... on a block of option per server config used by

The trick is that macrodef attribute using @{} as precedence over property evaluation ${} in ant.
