ability to add custom classpath together with %classpath placeholder
--------------------------------------------------------------------
Key: MEXEC-66
URL: http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/MEXEC-66
Project: Maven 2.x Exec Plugin
Issue Type: Improvement
Components: exec
Affects Versions: 1.1.2
Reporter: Petr Skokan
I am currently using NetBeans, which are using mvn:exec for execution of
the maven projects. I am not sure if you know NetBeans , however they
allow to use custom run/debug configurations in which you can customize
for example mvn:exec run parameters.
mvn:exec is using "%classpath" placeholder to resolve the pom dependencies.
However as it
is using equals method to check the command line params for placeholder,
it does not allow currently to put additional jars or folders to the
classpath resolved from pom. That is a bit disadvantage especially in
NetBeans, which are strict as they are using this mvn:exec plugin.
So we have modified the resolution of the %classpath
placeholder in mvn:exec so, that now we can specify for example
' -classpath %classpath:${debug_classpath}'.
I think this would be very useful even for normal mvn:exec usage. I am not
sure though if there is
some reason behind the fact that mvn:exec is limited strictly to use one of
those options separately.
So currently you can use either %classpath without possibility to add
additional classpath or custom classpath, but without
possibility to combine both on command line.
So I would vote for giving this freedom of defining custom classpath together
with usage of %claspath placeholder in future release.
Best regards,
Petr Skokan.
