reference a dependency specified in pom from the arguments list
---------------------------------------------------------------
Key: MEXEC-65
URL: http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/MEXEC-65
Project: Maven 2.x Exec Plugin
Issue Type: New Feature
Components: exec
Affects Versions: 1.1.1
Reporter: Max Calderoni
Attachments: ExecMojo.java
Was suggested to file a feature request and then possibly contribute instead of
creating a new plugin.
The original request is described here:
http://n2.nabble.com/resolve-jar-path-by-specifying-dependency-with-a-property-td2494162.html#a2494162
Feature basically is about referencing a dependency specified in the same pom
where the maven exec plugin is used.
So, a dependency like:
<dependency>
<groupId>net.whatever.domain</groupId>
<artifactId>mydep</artifactId>
<version>1.4</version>
<scope>test</scope>
</dependency>
could be referenced in an exec plugin's argument list in the same pom by
something like:
<argument>-Xbootclasspath/a:{project.dependencies.dependency.mydep.jar}</argument>
<argument>-javaagent:{project.dependencies.dependency.mydep.jar}</argument>
It would be a handy addition, because this way you would not need to hardcode
paths in the pom.
Not sure what the ideal notation could be:i am using curly brackets in my
example.
In my simplistic first crack at it (attached), i am basically editing
ExecMojo.execute() method. In ExecMojo i am adding a method (String
findJarDep(String identifier)) that parses the identifier and then uses
Artifact to return the path to the jar adding it to the commandArguments list.
Obviously i would like to hear from someone if this addition would make sense,
suggestions etc, before i start making it better with correct exception
handling, tests, etc (did that i few minutes as a first draft to get the idea).
