Simone Tripodi commented on MDOAP-38: ------------------------------------- I maybe got where my error is, I just noticed the following code snippet: {code} // try to get the first 10 words of the description String sentence = StringUtils.split( shortdesc, "." )[0]; if ( StringUtils.split( sentence, " " ).length > 10 ) { messages.addMessage( new String[] { "doapOptions", "shortdesc" }, null, UserMessages.REQUIRED_BY_ASF_OR_RECOMMENDED ); return; } {code} The error message maybe gets users confused because the value could be set but doesn't match the requirements. > <shortdesc> property value not interpolated > ------------------------------------------- > > Key: MDOAP-38 > URL: https://jira.codehaus.org/browse/MDOAP-38 > Project: Maven 2.x DOAP Plugin > Issue Type: Bug > Affects Versions: 1.1 > Reporter: Simone Tripodi > > I am trying to use the DOAP-plugin in [Apache > Onami|http://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/incubator/onami/trunk/parent/pom.xml] > and noticed that {{shortdesc}} property is not interpolated. > If not specified, the plugin terminates with an error: > {code} > [ERROR] A <doapOptions><shortdesc/></doapOptions> parameter is required by > ASF. > {code} > If I specify as > {code} > <doapOptions> > <shortdesc>${project.description}</shortdesc> > </doapOptions> > {code} > it terminates with the same error message: > {code} > [ERROR] A <doapOptions><shortdesc/></doapOptions> parameter is required by > ASF. > {code} > If I set a value, such as > {code} > <doapOptions> > <shortdesc>Bazinga!</shortdesc> > </doapOptions> > {code} > It goes ok. > Ah, and yes, the ${project.description} property is specified in the pom :P -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA.
