Hi all,
I've got some small questions about plugin development. More particularly about
passing parameters.
If you think this question should better be asked on the mvn-dev ML, please let
me know.
I saw how to do it for a mojo: according to a declaration like this:
/**
* @parameter expression="${project.packaging}"
* @required
* @readonly
*/
plexus, the IoC framework used by maven will then pass the requested -D params
to the mojo.
But what about maven "core" projects (how do you call it, btw? Maven core?
Non-mojo? maven api?). For example, say I want that a -Dvar=value variable be
passed to some maven code that's not a mojo (wagon-provider-api, maven-artifact
e.g.). Some switch that I would like to use in this maven api code.
What's the practice to do it?
Should I manage the parameter in the mojo, and then add a parameter in the
non-mojo code to pass the retrieved value from the calling mojo to the api code?
Should I use some special "configurer" from plexus to inject system property
directly into the api code?
Thanks a lot in advance.
Cheers.
