Hi Karsten,
Thanks for the quick reply! Yup, I'm using the Fornax plugin to pass the
project-specific properties to the generator project. I'll give you some
more details.
In my user project POM, I normally pass in the properties like this:
<plugin>
<groupId>org.fornax.toolsupport</groupId>
<artifactId>fornax-oaw-m2-plugin</artifactId>
<executions>
<execution>
<id>generate-main</id>
<configuration>
<checkResources>...</checkResources>
<workflowDescriptor>workflow.oaw</workflowDescriptor>
<properties>
<modelFile>${codegen.model.basedir}/${codegen.model}</modelFile>
<appProject>${codegen.project}</appProject>
...
</properties>
</configuration>
</execution>
</executions>
</plugin>
The local workflow.oaw file in my user project says:
<workflow>
<cartridge file="sculptorworkflow.oaw" inheritAll="true" />
</workflow>
This is because I modified sculptorworkflow.oaw to declare the two
properties:
<property name="modelFile" value="${modelFile}"/>
<property name="appProject" value="${appProject}"/>
All that works fine with the local workflow.oaw file. So I was trying to
see if I can get rid of the workflow.oaw file completely since my plugin
config is being run in the user project and already has all the properties
that I need to send into the generator.
This is what I tried. I changed the plugin config to say
<workflowDescriptor>sculptorworkflow.oaw</workflowDescriptor>
And then modified the sculptorworkflow.oaw file to not be abstract and to
"inheritAll" so it will take properties from the Fornax plugin:
<workflow inheritAll="true">
<property name="modelFile" value="${modelFile}"/>
<property name="appProject" value="${appProject}"/>
...
</workflow>
When I run this, I get the error:
"Could not find the Workflow-Descriptor "sculptorworkflow.oaw"."
I am running plugin version 2.1.1, and the generator project is not in my
workspace. Does the generator's workflow file have to be in the workspace
for the file to be found by the plugin?
Thanks!
