Hi,
as the plugin developer list over at codehaus seems to be down, I hope to
get an answer here:
I want to get the full absolute path to some artifact in the local
repository. So what I want is:
input: groupId, artifactId, version
output: absolute path to that artifact in local repository
For reasons not to be explained here, the plugin can not have
@requiresDependencyResolution set and can not have the wanted artifact in
its dependencies in the POM.
Does the Maven API offer such a function for use inside of a plugin?
What I currently do and what works is having a parameter with
* @parameter
expression="${settings.localRepository}/<groupId>/<artifactId>/<version>/<ar
tifactId>-<version>.jar"
(fill in <groupId>, <artifactId>, <version> with the appropriate values)
It works, but does not look like a clean way to me as it involves knowledge
about the inner structure of the local repository, which might be subject to
change.
A surplus would be to have a way to get this artifact downloaded if it's not
present - but remember, without having to add it to the POM.
thanks in advance!
greetings,
Mit freundlichen Grüßen
