Hello, It's currently not possible but generally I think it would be nice to have possibility to configure plugins through profiles using $HOME/.m2/settings.xml Here's a simple example why it would be useful: consider maven-eclipse-plugin and application using spring. Some developers working on this application using 'plain' Eclipse, some of them have SpringIDE installed. So it they want to be able just execute mvn eclipse:eclipse to have project working in eclipse, there's a need for having two profiles in main pom.xml, one for eclipse with IDE and one for others. Now there's another developer using NetBeans, next using only vi and of course somebody with emacs. They are not interested in having any Eclipse-related things in project. And 'hints' for maven-eclipse-plugin are in fact not a part of project itself. That's why I think there should be a possibilty to define this in $HOME/.m2/settings.xml, not at project level. And then if somebody wants to have SpringIDE settings, (s)he executing mvn -PspringIDE eclipse:eclipse, others use different profiles (WebTools for example). I think there may be similar problems with container setup for Cargo (do I really need to provide 'places' for every containers so developers may choose them between them?).
I know that such approach, with plugins 'driven by settings.xml' may not be portable, But, on the other side, does it really makes sense to put on iblblio poms having profiles for different eclipse settings? Please, consider adding plugin configuration to profiles in settings.xml Tomek PS or I'm missing a simple solution somewhere? --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
