Form my understanding, the issue was not maintaining multiple settings.xml file, it was the fact that oVirt's wiki suggests a settings.xml file with /a hard coded path/, which many potential community members will not have, simply because they installed Java and/or JBoss in a different location.
Since in order to run JBoss properly you should already have $JBOSS_HOME and $JAVA_HOME defined, the suggestion here was to reuse those values in settings.xml too. ----- Original Message ----- > From: "Shireesh Anjal" <[email protected]> > To: "Noam Slomianko" <[email protected]> > Cc: [email protected] > Sent: Tuesday, November 27, 2012 11:07:11 AM > Subject: Re: [Engine-devel] maven settings.xml in building ovirt engine wiki > > On Tuesday 27 November 2012 02:06 PM, Noam Slomianko wrote: > > Oh, sorry. > > Didnt notice it was sent to an ovit mailing list :D > > > > so, my solution is: > > > > create two different files (containing at least): > > > > <settings xmlns="http://maven.apache.org/POM/4.0.0"; > > xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"; > > xsi:schemaLocation="http://maven.apache.org/POM/4.0.0 > > > > http://maven.apache.org/xsd/settings-1.0.0.xsd";> > > > > <!--**************************** PROFILES > > ****************************--> > > > > <localRepository>{maven_home}/{repository}</localRepository> > > > > <activeProfiles> > > <activeProfile>oVirtEnvSettings</activeProfile> > > </activeProfiles> > > > > <profiles> > > <profile> > > <id>oVirtEnvSettings</id> > > <properties> > > <jbossHome>{jboss > > location}</jbossHome> > > <JAVA_HOME>{java > > location}</JAVA_HOME> > > <gwt.userAgent>gecko1_8</gwt.userAgent> > > </properties> > > </profile> > > </profiles> > > </settings> > > > > Between the two file you change: > > - {jboss location}, self explanatory > > - {java location}, only if they are of a different version > > - {repository}, so you dont get conflicting packages > > Of course they shouldn't be called Settings.xml > > > > > > And then add a change script so its easy to switch via a soft link, > > mine is: > > if [ $1 = "up" ] > > then > > rm ~/.m2/settings.xml > > ln -s ~/.m2/settingsUp.xml ~/.m2/settings.xml > > echo "changed jboss to upstream (1.7)" > > else > > rm ~/.m2/settings.xml > > ln -s ~/.m2/settingsDown.xml ~/.m2/settings.xml > > echo "changed jboss to downstream (1.6)" > > fi > > Another trick is to use the --settings option of maven e.g. > > mvn --settings ~/.m2/settingsUp.xml clean install -Pdep > > > > > > > > > ----- Original Message ----- > > From: "Noam Slomianko" <[email protected]> > > To: "Ofri Masad" <[email protected]> > > Cc: [email protected], "Alissa Bonas" <[email protected]>, > > "Laszlo Hornyak" <[email protected]> > > Sent: Tuesday, November 27, 2012 9:27:54 AM > > Subject: Re: [Engine-devel] maven settings.xml in building ovirt > > engine wiki > > > > The Intranet is a black hole... documents can only go in never to > > be found again. > > I needed to go back 3 months in my browsing history to find this, > > because why should it be found with keywords like upstream or > > downstream :P > > > > https://home.corp.redhat.com/wiki/working-downstream-and-upstream-parallel > > > > Have fun, > > Noam. > > > > ----- Original Message ----- > > From: "Ofri Masad" <[email protected]> > > To: "Laszlo Hornyak" <[email protected]>, "Noam Slomianko" > > <[email protected]> > > Cc: [email protected], "Alissa Bonas" <[email protected]> > > Sent: Tuesday, November 27, 2012 9:10:48 AM > > Subject: Re: [Engine-devel] maven settings.xml in building ovirt > > engine wiki > > > > Hi, > > > > I can't seem to find it, but i think there was a wiki page about > > working with multiple environments > > (Upstream/Downstream/ZStream...) > > > > Currently I'm using soft links to the setting.xml and .m2 repo. > > That way i can jump safely and quickly between environments. > > The paths are hard codded in the xml but i have few xml files > > ponting to different jdk and jboss. > > > > > > ----- Original Message ----- > > From: "Laszlo Hornyak" <[email protected]> > > To: "Alissa Bonas" <[email protected]> > > Cc: [email protected] > > Sent: Monday, November 26, 2012 6:52:52 PM > > Subject: Re: [Engine-devel] maven settings.xml in building ovirt > > engine wiki > > > > Hi, > > > > That too could work, but once it already needs to be in the > > settings.xml, why would you want another configuration file (like > > .bashrc)?
