Test for overlay.skip before resolving overlay dependency
---------------------------------------------------------
Key: MWAR-150
URL: http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/MWAR-150
Project: Maven 2.x War Plugin
Issue Type: Improvement
Affects Versions: 2.1-alpha-1
Reporter: Mike Youngstrom
Attachments: skip-overlay.zip
I have a "master" pom that many projects share and inherit common build,
report, dependency, etc. functionality from. I would like all of my .war
projects to inherit from this "master" pom including my overlays and my
projects that use the overlay.
In my master pom I have:
[code]
<pluginManagement>
<plugins>
<plugin>
<groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId>
<artifactId>maven-war-plugin</artifactId>
<version>2.1-alpha-1</version>
<configuration>
<overlays>
<overlay>
<groupId>com.mycompany.app</groupId>
<artifactId>my-overlay</artifactId>
</overlay>
<overlay></overlay>
</overlays>
</configuration>
</plugin>
</plugins>
</pluginManagement>
[/code]
This obviously causes a problem when the overlay war is created because it
cannot overlay itself with itself. So I get the error:
"overlay[ id com.mycompany.app:my-overlay] is not a dependency of the project."
I tried overriding the war plugin in the overlay pom and removed the overlays
but there seemed to be some kind of inheritance thing going on where the
overlays were still being added no matter what I did. (Might be a different
issue?)
Anyway, another way to fix this issue might be to use the "skip" attribute???
But I get the same error using <skip>true</skip>. Would it be possible to
allow the "skip" attribute to be tested prior to overlay dependency checking?
I've provided an example project of how I would like skip to function in a
clean way that might help this problem of circular overlays.
