title: Pre-Pre-build Steps in Hudson
body: <p>I'm in a bit of a pickle. I'm trying to run some environmental scripts before I run the build in a m2 project, but it seems no matter how hard I try - the 'pre' build script are never run early enough.</p>
  
  <p>Before the 'pre-build' scripts are run, the project checks to see if the correct files are in the workspace - files that won't be there until the scripts I've written are executed.</p>
  
  <p>To make them 'pre-build', I'm using the <a href="http://wiki.hudson-ci.org/display/HUDSON/M2+Extra+Steps+Plugin" rel="nofollow noreferrer">M2 Extra Steps</a> plugin - but's it's not 'pre' enough.</p>
  
  <p>Has anyone got any suggestions as to how I can carry out what I want to do?</p>
  
  <p>Cheers.</p>
