Maven functionality to download all dependencies for all plugins once.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Key: MAVEN-1597
URL: http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/MAVEN-1597
Project: maven
Type: Wish
Components: plugin manager
Versions: 1.0.2
Reporter: Davy Toch
Priority: Minor
It would be nice to have a Maven command-line switch or a standard plugin goal
that allows to download all dependencies of all unpacked plugins once.
The following Jelly script should give you an idea of what I mean (used in a
custom maven.xml in one of our Maven projects):
<!-- A custom simple POM file containing only the mandatory
fields. This file is necessary because almost
all plugins inherit from a parent POM -->
<property name="prj.file"
value="conf/plugin-bootstrapper-parent-pom.xml"/>
<!-- Some plugins inherit from the following parent POM -->
<copy file="${prj.file}"
tofile="${maven.home.local}/default-project.xml"/>
<!-- Some plugins inherit from the following parent POM -->
<copy file="${prj.file}"
tofile="${maven.plugin.unpacked.dir}/default-project.xml"/>
<!-- Some plugins inherit from the following parent POM -->
<copy file="${prj.file}"
tofile="${maven.plugin.unpacked.dir}/plugin-parent/project.xml"/>
<!-- Apparently, the following action downloads all
dependencies for all unpacked plugins
It is important to put */project.xml (and not **/project.xml)
as value for the attribute includes, because e.g. the genapp
plugin directory has several project.xml files.
-->
<m:reactor basedir="${maven.plugin.unpacked.dir}" includes="*/project.xml"
goals="clean" banner="Initializing plugin ... " ignoreFailures="false"/>
Additional wish : it would be convenient if all Maven plugins inherit from the
same parent POM (or not at all), in order to simplify the above script.

Davy Toch
