Foreach call in maven-antrun-plugin

I am trying to configure maven to execute the LESS CSS preprocessor in a directory in my web project. Main stream:

  • Maven calls maven-antrun-plugin.
  • Ant -contrib <foreach/>goes through the directory and finds all the dormant files and calls the target.
  • The target runs Rhino, which runs LESS, which converts the file.

For this, I have the following XML:

        <plugin>
            <groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId>
            <artifactId>maven-antrun-plugin</artifactId>
            <version>1.7</version>
            <executions>
                <execution>
                    <phase>compile</phase>
                    <configuration>
                        <target name="processLessFile">
                            <!-- ... -->
                        </target>
                        <target name="main">
                            <taskdef resource="net/sf/antcontrib/antcontrib.properties" classpathref="maven.plugin.classpath"/>
                            <property name="css.dir" location="src/main/webapp/css"/>
                            <foreach param="file" target="processLessFile">
                                <fileset dir="${css.dir}">
                                    <filename name="**/*.less" />
                                </fileset>
                            </foreach>
                        </target>
                    </configuration>
                    <goals>
                        <goal>run</goal>
                    </goals>
                </execution>
            </executions>
            <dependencies>
                <dependency>
                    <groupId>ant</groupId>
                    <artifactId>ant-contrib</artifactId>
                    <version>1.0b2</version>
                </dependency>
            </dependencies>
        </plugin>

The problem I am facing is that the “primary” goal starts to execute, but then fails in <foreach>:

[ERROR] Failed to execute goal org.apache.maven.plugins:maven-antrun-plugin:1.7:run (default) on project model-web-project: An Ant BuildException has occured: The following error occurred while executing this line:
