Hi
during the hangout we discussed about plugins depending on configuration
of another plugin, or in other words: sharing configuration.
For instance:
The values for
http://maven.apache.org/plugins/maven-compiler-plugin/compile-mojo.html#source
and
http://maven.apache.org/plugins/maven-compiler-plugin/compile-mojo.html#target
must be the same for
http://mojo.codehaus.org/aspectj-maven-plugin/compile-mojo.html#source and
http://mojo.codehaus.org/aspectj-maven-plugin/compile-mojo.html#target
http://maven.apache.org/plugins/maven-pmd-plugin/pmd-mojo.html#targetJdk
and somehow with the
http://mojo.codehaus.org/animal-sniffer-maven-plugin/check-mojo.html,
although
it's probably hard to map this to the signatures
http://mojo.codehaus.org/signatures/
and there are probably more....
The easiest way to keep these parameters in sync is by introducing a
property and to use that per plugin.
However, by using a property is has become an exposed variable. Something
which can be set from commandline and that's not always what you want.
Ideally a user should configure this only once either in a plugin or with
a preserved pom-element.
As said by Jason, plugins shouldn't be aware of each other. Also if the
m-compiler-p has multiple execution blocks, it's quite impossible to solve
this.
So extending the pom model for these kind of parameters makes sense as
long as it stays language independent.
thanks,
Robert

I'll have a follow up on the POM Evolved proposal and I'd like to talk
about how to test all our plugins in preparation against the latest
version of Maven so we can start seeing all the deprecation in core. As
per usual the floor is open to other topics.
Thanks,
Jason
