Allow multipe templates
-----------------------
Key: MWEBSTART-129
URL: http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/MWEBSTART-129
Project: Maven 2.x Webstart Plugin
Issue Type: New Feature
Components: jnlps
Reporter: Dimitar Dimitrov
h1. Problem
I have a scenario, where the same application is deployable as both JNLP applet
and webstart.
It looks like the Java Plugin in JRE 1.5u10 does not support JNLP files that
contain both <applet-desc> and <application-desc>, so I ended up with two JNLP
files which are for the most part the same.
Right now I am using the same template and Velocity "if" statement to switch
between applet and application modes. Unfortunately, this requires me to run my
build twice with different profiles.
h1. Request
Allow to specify a list of "variations" in the JNLP plugin configuration. In my
case, it would look like this:
{code}
<configuration>
<jnlp>
<mainClass>${mainClass}</mainClass>
<variations>
<variation>applet</applet>
<variation>application</applet>
</variations>
</jnlp>
</configuration>
{code}
* Generate a new JNLP file from the template for each variation.
* The final output name will be $\{outputFile}-$\{variation}.jnlp
* In the velocity template, you will need to pass the current $\{variation}
and the adjusted $\{outputFile}
* If the variations element is not present, the plugin works as of now
(backwards compatible).
*Alternative approach* is to allow specifying multiple velocity templates. I
favour the 'variations' variable because the alternative encourages
proliferation of templates (which probably would be quite similar and have to
be kept in sync.) Each approach is expressible by the means of the other.
