How to execute tasks conditionally using the maven-antrun-plugin?

Question

I need to execute some ant commands depending on an environment variable passed in as a parameter to the maven build command.

At the moment I have 3 tasks blocks and only the tasks block with no condition is being executed.

<tasks name="isProdCheck">
  <condition property="isProd">
    <equals arg1="${environment}" arg2="PROD" />
  </condition>
</tasks>

<tasks if="isProd" depends="isProdCheck">
...
</tasks>

<tasks>
... I am the only block executed
</tasks>

What am I doing wrong, is there a better way to do this?

Resolved this issue by creating multiple named targets with "if" attributes and a condition property in a build.xml file in the project root as follows.

<target name="prod" if="isProd" depends="isProdCheck">
    // do something
</target>

Passed properties of the command line switches I required, and called the ant targets in the build.xml file from the tasks section in the Maven POM as follows:

<tasks>
 <ant antfile="${basedir}/build.xml">
    <property name="environment" value="${environment}"/>        
    <target name="prod"/>
 </ant>          
</tasks>
