profile element in POM should support overriding project.build.directory
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Key: MNG-2598
URL: http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/MNG-2598
Project: Maven 2
Issue Type: Improvement
Components: Profiles
Affects Versions: 2.0.4
Reporter: Ian Springer
I am trying to set up a 'dev' build profile that, when enabled, will cause my
j2ee artifacts to be built directly to exploded j2ee deployment dirs, instead
of target/classes/. The purpose is to make the everyday development process
more efficient by skipping a number of time-consuming intermediate mvn steps
(i.e. jarring artifacts, copying the jars to the local repo, then unjarring the
artifacts to their deploy locations).
The intuitive way to achieve this is to override 'project.build.directory'
and/or 'project.build.outputDirectory' in a profile; e.g.:
<profile>
...
<build>
<outputDirectory>${jboss.home}/server/default/deploy/my.ear/my-exploded-ejb.jar
</build>
...
</profile>
Unfortunately, profiles currently do not allow one to override either
'project.build.directory' or 'project.build.outputDirectory'. Please change
Maven to allow profiles to override these props. Otherwise, I can't see any
other way to achieve what my team needs to do to have a practical build/dev
infrastructure.
Thanks,
Ian
