RE: A maven plugin to add dynamically a repository at build time

[Golan, Yaron]

Hi,

Here is my proposal...

Inside your main/parent pom.xml, set the following:

<project>
        ...
        <properties>
                <repo.name>foo</repo.name>
                <repo.url>boo</repo.url>
        </properties>
        
        <repositories>
                <repository>
                        <id>${repo.name}</id>
                        <url>${repo.url}</url>
                </repository>
        </repositories>
        ...
</project>


And your maven command should like:
mvn <whatever phase> -Drepo.name=some.repo.name -Drepo.url=relevant.url


What do you say?

Subject: A maven plugin to add dynamically a repository at build time

Hi,

In my continuous integration solution, I need to have a maven repository which 
is calculated based on the git branch name. For example, I have a naming 
convention which is used to calculate the maven repo URL, something similar to 
this:

Branch name     -> Git Repo URL:
-------------------     ---------------------
develop         -> 
https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=http-3A__archiva_repositories_snapshot&d=DwIBaQ&c=LFYZ-o9_HUMeMTSQicvjIg&r=GYb_8qONFTPgVpTfZRT53aEptjaOm6sDrruaOwiowLQ&m=wYKDMhCmuL6gf7KPllHND78qrm6EwCIeSTQMt6cv268&s=YFvvW16iOsJQtkao0hwVmS33Rh07ba1sfucC1yHSwFI&e=
 
feature/xxx     ->

I wrote a maven plugin that adds dynamically a repository in my project but 
unfortunately, my plugin is not invoked before maven performs the dependency 
resolution.

I googled it and tried some workaround proposed (like putting my plugin in the 
pre-clean phase), but it still executes after the dependency resolution.

You guys ever tried this?

Thanks,
Nicolas
