Maven with Ant : exec Command line

Question

I want to retrieve the serial number of my computer by running ant task in pom.xml.

<profile>
        <id>generate-license</id>
        <build>
            <plugins>
                <plugin>
                    <artifactId>maven-antrun-plugin</artifactId>
                    <executions>
                        <execution>
                            <phase>compile</phase>
                            <configuration>
                                <tasks>
                                    <exec executable="wmic bios get serialnumber"
                                          resultproperty="serialNumber"
                                          failonerror="false" />
                                    <echo message="Serial number: ${serialNumber}" />
                                </tasks>
                            </configuration>
                            <goals>
                                <goal>run</goal>
                            </goals>
                        </execution>
                    </executions>
                </plugin>
            </plugins>
        </build>
    </profile>

I execute maven at compile phase and here is the result:

[WARNING] Parameter tasks is deprecated, use target instead
[INFO] Executing tasks

Could you try the arguments using the following syntax please?

<exec executable="wmic" resultproperty="serialNumber" failonerror="false">
      <arg value="bios" />
      <arg value="get" />
      <arg value="serialnumber" />
</exec>
