Hi all,
Here I am again without another weird issue (sorry if it was discussed before, but I
didn't find it on Jira/eyebrowse).
Is there a known limitation that a project can't have more than one dependency with
the same id but different types?
Before someone shouts 'use multi-project', let me explain my problem first.
I have a project that generates a Resource Adapter/Connector (from the JCA API). So,
the main artifact for this project is a RAR, but it also generates a JAR (as other
projects that uses the connector at runtime also needs to have access to its API at
compiletime) and a ZIP with the JBoss descriptors (in order to deploy the adapter,
it's necessary to deploy a descriptor too). Now I have another project that depends on
that connector. So, in order to compile that project, I need a dependency on the JAR,
and that's fine. But if I want to test this new project using cactus, I need to deploy
the RAR and the descriptors on JBoss before runnning Cactus and hence define a preGoal
for cactus:test similar to this:
<j:forEach var="lib" items="${pom.artifacts}">
<j:set var="dep" value="${lib.dependency}"/>
<j:set var="depType" value="${dep.type}"/>
<j:choose>
<j:when test="${depType=='rar'}">
<!-- deploy the rar on JBoss -->
<copy file="${fileToDeploy}" todir="${deployDir}"/>
</j:when>
<j:when test="${depType=='zip'}">
<!-- unzip the descriptors and later deploy then on JBoss -->
<unzip dest="${maven.build.dir}/descriptors"
src="${fileToDeploy}"/>
</j:when>
</j:choose>
</j:if>
</j:forEach>
But that piece of code does not work, as the iterator returns only one dependency for
that id, out of 3 defined at the POM (jar, rar and zip).
So, what do you guys thinks? Is this a bug or a known Maven limitation? If that's a
limitation, where should I change the code in order to create a customized Maven that
works as desired (I'm not that familiar with Maven core yet, specially regarding the
magical xml-to-object transformations :-)?
Regards,
Felipe
