Hi Brian,
Thanks for the insight.
The problem with doing something like this would be that the
configuration for the sublaunched mojo would still be required
separately in the POM, and I wouldn't be able to interrogate the mojo
after execution for values that it created for itself. This is
because the sublaunched mojo is going to look at the current POM for
configuration no differently than if it were launched from the POM.
I'm combining the executions of three mojos in one since their
configurations are coupled and am looking to consolidate about 110
lines of interdependent POM configuration between them (that in turn
run over two phases) down to about 30 lines in one plugin. It's for
the debian plugin, which needs to run assembly plugin to get the
source tree and wagon to find out the version of the current
maintainer revision on the debian repository and deploy it there with
the revision incremented.

You can cause another goal to execute before your mojo. If you're
creative enough, this might do what you want:

Subject: Configuring a Mojo Programmatically
I have two mojos in two different plugins, and I would like to use
them together, one calling the other one to get some work done.
Let's call them "parent" and "child". The parent mojo needs to
instantiate the child, and if the child has dependencies, should be
able
to have those properly instantiated too.
As best I can tell, this is the same subtree of calls that happens
with
DefaultPluginManager.getConfiguredMojo(), but it's a private method
and
I don't even have a MojoExecution for the child mojo to start with!
So I'm thinking there has to be a better way to do this or just write
off the parent->child relationship as impractical. Assembly seems
to be
the only plugin that even tries this, and it doesn't do it to the
level
that I am looking at here.
If anyone has ideas or is laughing because this is "so not going to
work", please do speak up :-)
Happy indigenous turkey liberation day for those of you that celebrate
such days.
Brian
