I asked about this last year but never got a good resolution.
I am trying to use an environment variable in my pom, for a jar using a
systemPath
I tried:
<dependency>
<groupId>com.serialio</groupId>
<artifactId>serialio</artifactId>
<version>7.5</version>
<scope>system</scope>
<systemPath>
{env.MAVEN_WORKSPACE}/java.3rdParty/jars/Serialio-7.5.jar
<!-- c:/workspace/java.3rdParty/jars/Serialio-7.5.jar -->
</systemPath>
</dependency>
The result is the error:
system-scoped dependency must specify an absolute path systemPath.
Looking this error up, I see:
The path must be absolute, so it is recommended to use a property to specify
the machine-specific path (more on properties below), such as ${java.home}/lib
.
This environment variable is set in my bash profile before running eclipse:
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ echo $MAVEN_WORKSPACE
/home/dingfeldera/workspace
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$
I also tried it as {MAVEN_WORKSPACE} and also tried making a java variable in
eclipse.
Neither helped.
Has anyone gotten variables to work in systemPath jars?
