Hi Robert,

I would try to refactor as suggested. However to get everything clear:


 org/codehaus/mojo/flatten-maven-plugin/descriptors/oss.xml is read.




Best regards

The Mojo would be shipped with predefined descriptor configs that would be read from the classpath. E.g. user only configures <descriptor>oss</descriptor> in the <configuration> of flatten-maven-plugin. Then However, the user could also specify a path such as <descriptor>${basedir}/flatten-custom.xml</descriptor> that would be loaded as file. Did I get it right? Or do you only want me to put the current config options into a container element (pomDescriptor) so future Maven features could help with some magic I can not see yet?

Ideally what we want is some sort of xslt, however that's probably too heavy and too complex. Instead you could think of something like (when written as config, or equivalent xml file)

<configuration>
  <pomDescriptor>
    <scm/>
    <name/>
    <description>
    ...
  </pomDescriptor>
</configuration>





thanks,
Robert

IIRC the behavior has changed in our favor with Maven 3, so it should be easy to recognize if a value is set (is should become an empty String/Object instead of null) Depending on your definition of 'flatten' an descriptorId should be enough if it is the bare minimum required by the OSS Nexus. If you want more freedom to choose your fields, don't use ids, just a descriptor. Op Mon, 05 May 2014 23:45:18 +0200 schreef Jörg Hohwiller <jo...@j-hohwiller.de>:

Hi Jörg,

Hi Robert,

I think we should consider another approach.
Once users can define their own descriptors, you really want to get
rid of these parameters.

For now I would go for:
@Parameter
private String descriptorId;

For now it's null by default, or "oss" as predefined value.

in the code just check
if ( "oss".equals( descriptorId ) )
{
  // add stuff
}

this way it will be easier/cleaner to move to real descriptors.

WDYT?

Thanks for your input and suggestions.
To ensure that I fully understand what you are talking about, could you
give me a link to the "descriptor" concept, you are talking about. Do
you mean something similar to what assembly-plugin does?
So you would suggest to go for an indirection such that the individual
configuration per element is extracted to a "descriptor file" that is
itself configured as a single parameter?
I am not yet completely convinced. Some other "OSS user" might want to
set all parameters to "KeepIfExists" instead for some reason.
The next parameters I would see are inceptionYear or issueManagement.
What would "OSS" mean in the end?
Would not an indirection make it even more complex in the end (assuming
you get something like "oss+extras" and later
"oss+extras-without-something-else")?

Robert
