The dependency:copy mojo already does what you want. So you can either use that, or examine the code to make yours work.
-----Original Message----- From: /U [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Saturday, December 01, 2007 2:37 PM To: [email protected] Subject: Forcing the download of a dependency I have written a Mojo which binds to "generate-sources" phase and needs to process a jar artifact dependency of the project. The problem is that when I invoke the Mojo, the dependency (the artifact) is not downloaded into project.getDirectory(). My Mojo is defined in plugin my.plugins:myplugin as follows: /** * Goal which extracts files from dependency framework.jar. * * @goal bootstrap * * @requiresDependencyResolution compile * @phase generate-sources */ I have also included the component "dependencies" in the Mojo (I thought this might be needed to force dependency resolution): /** * The set of dependencies required by this project * @parameter default-value="${project.dependencies}" * @required * @readonly */ private Collection dependencies; Now consider a project foo where this plugin is used during "generate-sources" phase: // Excerpt from the POM using the Mojo: <dependencies> <dependency> <groupId>MyGroup</groupId> <artifactId>framework</artifactId> <version>1.0-SNAPSHOT</version> </dependency> </dependencies> The client project binds the Mojo to the generate-sources phase: <plugin> <groupId>my.plugins</groupId> <artifactId>myplugin</artifactId> <configuration> <resourcesFile> framework-1.0-SNAPSHOT.jar </resourcesFile> </configuration> <executions> <execution> <id>bootstrap</id> <phase>generate-sources</phase> <configuration> //... </configuration> </execution> </executions> </plugin> The Mojo processes the artifact framework.jar when invoked: $ mvn myplugin:bootstrap This fails because it does not find the artifact framework-1.0-SNAPSHOT.jar in MavenProject.getBuild().getDirectory(). I need to force the plugin to download framework-1.0-SNAPSHOT.jar during generate-sources phase; I thought the class-level annotation @requiresDependencyResolution generate-resources would do the trick. It obviously is not working. How do I force the project to download this artifact when this Mojo is invoked?
