Configuring Maven to support creation of .exe installer

I am currently using Maven 3 and have a really simple .ism file for InstallShield 2012.

My pom.xml creates a .jar file which is the only file used by the .ism. I can do something like this:

C:>IsCmdBld.exe -p "c:\InstallShield Projects\Simple.ism" -r "COMP" -y "1.0"

This is of outside of my POM, but I would like to use the version info in the POM and other metadata to in the installer creation.

I'm aware no specific InstallShield plug-in does not exist for Maven, but I'm wondering if there is a way to get Maven to help out by calling the command block above, or something similar?

While the question was asked way in the past, and I haven't had access to InstallShield for a year now, I did happen to work on a Maven plugin to introduce things that you want to achieve.

https://github.com/tptak/installshield-maven-plugin

I could continue work on this to some extent if I had a licence

You could use the exec-maven-plugin and pass in the ${project.version} as part of your execution call.

Otherwise if there is an anttask for InstallShield you could use that with the antrun plugin.
