Re: Replacing a bunch of -Dkey=value pairs using external file

Hi Barrie,

That would work.  On caveat, I have to instruct my user to edit their own
settings.xml.  Would be nice if I can just pass in -fp xxx from command line

Thanks

 Put the properties into a profile in ~/.m2/settings.xml and then activate
it via -P
e.g.

ci

true



mvn -Pci

With the profile activate rat will now be skipped.

Replacing a bunch of -Dkey=value pairs using external file

[Dan Tran]

Hi

I have a scenario where I use a maven reactor multi-modules build to
orchestrate a vmware OVA build from scratch ( start with ISO, create
initial VM, apply additional provisioning, export to OVA, deploy, and test)

The poms have properties which can be overridden  via -Dx=y to build on
non-default environment, but there  are too many to account for

So far I found
http://www.mojohaus.org/properties-maven-plugin/set-system-properties-mojo.html
but the initial experiment is not good.

Perhaps, this feature must come from maven core? if so, is it a lot of
effort to add this feature? and how?

is there a similar need like this from Maven community?

Advice is greatly appreciated

-Dan

As mentioned, the poms already jam with all the default properties work out
of box for a particular environment.  I just need a friendly way to
override them.  Using settings.xml is the only choice at this moment

Thanks

Well done.
I was trying to use
env 'rat.skip=true' mvn -pl maven-scm-plugin validate

to do the same, but that was setting environment variables not command line
args.
MAVEN_OPTS also wasn't useful as that was for the java command not for the
mvn command.

I wasn't happy with offering this solution up because it became more
cumbersome to type, but storing these other configs in files and wrapping
them with basic scripts is doable

Are they truly always on?

Then you can jam them in your pom.xml

http://maven.apache.org/pom.html#Properties

  
true

[Dan Tran]

that gives me a idea to write a mvn command decorator  :-)

Thanks
