Description

This plugin has caused much grief by overwriting existing build.xml files without warning. The default build name should be changed to something less commonly used, 'build-from-pom.xml' for example. Or the user should be prompted to confirm overwriting on the command line.

I can try to add a warning if the file already exists but I'm not in favor to change the default file name.
You can use the property 'maven.ant.generatebuild.file' to define yourself another name for this file.

Actually I didn't find how to do it.
Even if I add a user input when the file exists, I don't find how to generate or not the file.
The call to <j:import..> is always done even it is in a test with a false value.

Fixed. The plugin ask to the user if he wants to overwrite a previously generated script
