I could write a launcher app but then we will have a launcher app for
an already existing launcher app (the 3rd party one). I prefer to
make this system simpler not more complex, so I would rather not. As
to using ant we are actually trying to remove ant from our builds
that is why we opted to use maven, so bringing ant back into the
picture is a nonstarter. It looks like I might have to extend the
exec plugin myself to do what I need it to do. No problem I wanted to
exhaust all other possibilities first before going down that path.
Thanks,

HI Blair,
Can you write a launcher app? That is, one that you can launch via
the exec plugin, and which can do the translation and launch the other
app?
Alternately, I think you could use the ant run plugin - that should
have properties which provide the actual class path - and then you
would use ant to do the launching.

Hi Russell,
Unfortunately, the app in question is not mine to change. It is a
third party one that we write components for, so I need to feed it
what is needed from maven.

Hi Blair,
The underlying property is a list of strings. What you get when you
use it in a POM is the string representation. You would have to get
your program to translate it into a class path. Since your app is
taking it as a parameter, it should be able to do that. Just strip
off the beginning and ending brackets and split the string at the
commas.
Regards,
Russ

Thanks Russell,
That has the right data just not in the right format. I need it to
look just like a normal classpath with the platform appropriate
separators. In my case that would be a : for I am on a linux box.
Instead that property gives me a comma delimited list that seems to
also start with a [. Is there some way to transform that property
into what I need or is there another property out there that will
give me what I want?
Thanks,
Blair

Try the property, "project.compileClasspathElements"

Hello,
I am trying to use the exec plugin to run a vry large distributed
application, but in order to start the system I need to be able to
read the maven built classpath and pass that into my app as a
parameter. Is there a way to read the current classpath into a
variable or reference it in any way? I have tried multiple different
properties found via Google, but none of them have the data I need.
Thanks,
Blair
