I tried setting the dao.framework property in settings.xml, but that didn't
work either.
It seems there's only two ways to set a DAO Framework with AppFuse/Maven.
1. Pass it in from the command-line: mvn jetty:run-war
-Ddao.framework=jpa-hibernate
2. Set it in your MAVEN_OPTS environment variable: export
MAVEN_OPTS='-Ddao.framework=jpa-hibernate'.
Both of these seem pretty fragile as it requires end users to do something.
If they don't set the MAVEN_OPTS variable, they'll end up with Hibernate
instead of iBATIS or JPA. Is there a better way to do this?
Is Maven like Ant in that properties are immutable? If so, can I hook into
the lifecycle sooner and set this dao.framework property from the local
pom.xml?
Thanks,
Matt
