Hi all,
I've been trying to use profile activation based on OS to work
around maven's lack of support for exposing the OS family (you can
test against the current OS family, you just cannot find out what
the current OS family is using ${maven.os.family} or some
equivalent, or it least it seems that way from the users list).
<snip>
The following variation does detect MacosX (using family instead of
name):
<profile>
<id>activate-mac</id>
<properties>
<os-platform>macosx</os-platform>
<os-arch>${os.arch}</os-arch>
</properties>
<activation>
<os>
<family>mac</family>
</os>
</activation>
</profile>
<snip>
But, as soon as you try and detect Linux and MacosX side by side,
Linux is detected on MacosX, instead of MacOSX:
<profile>
<id>activate-linux</id>
<properties>
<os-platform>linux</os-platform>
<os-arch>${os.arch}</os-arch>
</properties>
<activation>
<os>
<familylinux</family>
</os>
I've done some research on this myself. The code this is actually
doing the checking is here is from plexus-utils. I believe the
version that is being used is :
http://svn.plexus.codehaus.org/browse/plexus/tags/plexus-utils-1.1/
src/main/java/org/codehaus/plexus/util/Os.java?r=3008
It turns out there is no linux family, there is only a 'unix' family
which includes Mac OS X (since the name ends with X)
The by name stuff does compare case sensitive with the lower cased
version of os.name, so you must use the all lower cased version.
This has been fixed in the latest version of plexus-utils version 1.4
Will maven-2.0.5 use the 1.4 version or an earlier one.
To solve the problem for my self... I use <family>mac</family> and
<name>linux<name> for the two profiles.
Hope that helps!
