Pull the trigger - modularize and move completely to maven 2.

Here's why:

I'm setting up sonar - a tool for code quality analysis. The way sonar is
run is:

"mvn sonar:sonar"

I'm using ANT to build my project. However, sonar requires a dummy pom.xml file to trick it into saying it's a maven project. Then, Sonar will go and
descend into all the directories and complete static code analysis.

In my case, I need only specific directories to be analysed by Sonar. Hence,
I simply list these directories and feed it into the pom.xml file's
<sourceDirectory> property. This will allow sonar to analyse only those
modules.

Hence, I somehow need to figure out how I can feed these files one by one
into pom.xml and call mvn each time.

Hi,

First question: why do you need to do this?

Maven defines strong conventions principles over config. So doing what you
say seems quite uncommon. So you've got three solutions:
* if the project can be cleanly refactored to be built, with clear deps
and
so on => the way to go
* if those source directories comes from a special process (say
generation),
then maybe the way to go is more writing a maven plugin that will do what you need cleanly (writing a maven plugin is very simple). To help answer
this question, I guess you'll have to explain your need a bit more.
* combine ant-run plugin/buildhelper should help do the trick, but this
would be like using ant to compile when developing under eclipse

Cheers

I'm need to use custom variables in maven. Here's what I do:

Run the "ls" command in the current directory. For each directory listed,
I
want to add the name in pom.xml's <sourceDirectory> $DirectoryName
</sourceDirectory>property and run mvn. If there's a way to set name /
value
pairs during mvn invocation, that would be best. If not, what's the best
way
to do this?
