I'm having a go at moving from Maven 1.x up to 2.0 and can't quite work
out the correct way to model local machine specific settings. I've
looked through the docs and mailing lists so have found various details
about profiles but I can't quite see how to use them to cater for
certain setup issues.
Take, for example, the jdkName property for the idea plugin. Under 1.x
I just added this to my build.properties:
maven.idea.jdk=1.4
and all is well - that's the name I've given to it in my local Idea
setup so it works nicely.
Now switching over to M2 I could just put this in the pom.xml:
<plugin>
<groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId>
<artifactId>maven-idea-plugin</artifactId>
<configuration>
<jdkName>1.4</jdkName>
</configuration>
</plugin>
Now this forces every developer to have a JDK set up in Idea called 1.4,
which they may not want - perhaps they prefer to name them fully (e.g.
1.4.2_05).
I did look to just put an override for this setting in a settings.xml or
profiles.xml file, but changing plugin settings seems to be disallowed
in these files.
Another example would be specifying a specific compiler executable.
This can be set in the pom
<plugins>
<plugin>
<groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId>
<artifactId>maven-compiler-plugin</artifactId>
<configuration>
<executable>C:/Program
Files/Java/jdk1.4.2_05/bin/javac</executable>
but that relies on everybody installing Java to the same location, which
never happens, so doesn't work.
Can somebody enlighten me? Given the amount of thought that's clearly
gone into M2 I'm sure this sort of thing must be catered for and it's
just me not seeing how
thanks
James
