I have a plugin that needs to execute a seperately installed program. I don't want the plugin to rely on the user's environment. I would prefer to specify the executables location via a property. I'd like to have default properties for different OS's: windows and solaris. I'd like the goal to fail if the installed program can not be found. I'd also like to have an OS-independent property that a user could over-ride. So I'm thinking og a plugin.property file that looks something like this:
maven.foo.unix.executable=/usr/local/bin/foo maven.foo.windows.executable=c:\Program Files\foo Is a user has the program foo installed somewhere else he can run maven -Dmaven.foo.executable=blah/blah/foo ... So, first is this a good approach? Is it the Maven approach? Finally can someone point me to an existing plugin that does something similar? I'm having a hard time getting traction on this problem.
