Plugin parameters are no longer expanded from properties CDATA sections
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
Key: MNG-4493
URL: http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/MNG-4493
Project: Maven 2 & 3
Issue Type: Bug
Affects Versions: 2.2.1
Reporter: Pat Leamon
Priority: Minor
In version 2.0.9 we used properties to configure a parameter (of type List) for
a plugin.
i.e.
<properties>
<databaselist>
<![CDATA[
<databaseToMigrate>
<connectionUsername>userA</connectionUsername>
<connectionPassword>passwordA</connectionPassword>
</databaseToMigrate>
<databaseToMigrate>
<connectionUsername>userB</connectionUsername>
<connectionPassword>passwordB</connectionPassword>
</databaseToMigrate>
]]>
</databaselist>
</properties>
...
<plugin>
...
<configuration>
<databases>${databaselist}</databases>
...
</configuration>
</plugin>
...
In 2.2.1 this no longer works. Maven complains that type String doesn't match
type List. I guess it is preserving the CDATA section as a String.
Is this intended behaviour now? Is there any way that we could keep xml
fragments in a property and then use them in parameters?
I can workaround this by redefining the plugin config in each pom, it's just
less elegant.
