Sergei Ivanov commented on an issue   Re: Plugin does not find EXE on customized toolchain path I tend to think it is a documentation issue. If the plugin uses "jdk" toolchain to locate executable binaries, it should clearly state in the docs that the toolchain should only be used for locating JDK tools. The way jdk toolchain resolves tool locations is (as best as I remember) by appending bin subdirectory to the jdkHome, and then appending the name of the exe file. In my case, I define jdkHome in toolchains.xml as C:/jdk1.6.0_25, the toolchain will try to locate java.exe inside C:\jdk1.6.0_25\bin. In your case it will attempt to find IsCmdBld.exe in C:\Program Files (x86)\InstallShield X\System\bin, which is obviously not the case. I stand by my opinion that you should not be using your "trick" of defining the "jdk" toolchain for non-jdk tools, even if your project is not using java. Even if you cannot alter settings.xml, you can still use a property in your POM, e.g. <executable>${IsCmdBld}</executable> ...and then use Maven parameters in the Jenkins job configuration to pass -DIsCmdBld=C:\Program Files (x86)\InstallShield X\System\IsCmdBld.exe to your build execution. Add Comment   Mojo's Exec Maven Plugin / MEXEC-128 Plugin does not find EXE on customized toolchain path Using toolchains.xml I have customized the jdkHome path. Inside that path is an EXE file I want to execute. Maven correctly posts the path: [INFO] --- maven-toolchains-plugin:1.0:toolchain (default) @ setup --- [INFO] Type:jdk [INFO] Toolchain (jdk) matched:JDK[C:\Program Files (x86)\InstallShield X\System] But the EXEC plugin does not find the ...
