Difference between <arguments> and <commandLineArgs> is not documented
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Key: MEXEC-59
URL: http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/MEXEC-59
Project: Maven 2.x Exec Plugin
Issue Type: Bug
Components: java
Reporter: Trevor Harmon
Priority: Minor
The exec:java goal has two seemingly identical elements: <arguments> and
<commandLineArgs>. The difference between them is not documented.
Simone Gianni made the following observations on the Maven Users List:
- If commandLineArgs is specified, it will be used as is, except for replacing
%classpath with proper classpath using dependencies
- Otherwise if the property exec.args is specified, it will be used
- Otherwise the list of <argument> and <classpath> will be parsed and used
So, yes, they both (and the exec.args also) serve the same purpose, but
commandLineArgs is taken more or less literaly, as well as exec.args, while the
<arguments> element offer a more "formal" way of specifying parameters and
calculating classpaths.
These differences should be explained in the exec:java documentation.
