Dimitar Dimitrov commented on MWEBSTART-129:
--------------------------------------------
If anybody thinks this is a good approach I can invest some time in a patch.
Please let me know.
PS. I don't like the 'variation' name, any suggestions are welcome.
> 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.
