Making it possible for plug-in to add modules to the reactor programatically
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Key: MNG-1916
URL: http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/MNG-1916
Project: Maven 2
Type: Improvement
Reporter: Nils Fredrik Gjerull
I would like to be able to specify a number of directories as plug-in
directories, automatically discover every plug-in in those directories and
include them in the reactor. As I understands it the reactor with it's modules
({{org.apache.maven.execution.ReactorManager}}) is created in
{{org.apache.maven.DefaultMaven}}. If I understands this correctly maven
plug-ins can't add projects to the reactor programatically.
My proposition to solve this is to add a phase which will be executed after the
pom.xml is parsed, but before the information stored in Model/MavenProject is
used, and most importantly before the {{ReactorManager is created}}. Then you
can add information to the MavenProject programatically, increasing the
flexibility for plug-ins.
I am not fluent in the maven2 code base, but it seems to me that this require
quite a lot of changes to the code. As I understands it the life cycle starts
after the {{ReactorManager}} is made, and therefore after the information in
Model have started to be used.
