Hi -
I am new to writing Maven plug-ins.
I am fiddling with a plug-in, where I do have to make use of Spring
Beans (therefore I have to initialize Spring in a programmatic
fashion). I am invoking this plug-in from another project's pom. My
problem is, in my plug-in, I could not so far manage to have Spring
find its 'applicationcontext.xml' file ( I am using the
ClassPathXmlApplicationContext constructor,and the plug-is is
complaining that it is not able to find the applicationcontext file on
the classpath.
So, is there a way I can override the the classpath of the thread that
starts my plugin??
To make things more understandable, here is a chunk from my project
pom (where I call my plug-in)
...........
<executions>
<execution>
<phase>generate-sources</phase>
<goals>
<goal>
CreateTemplateWebProject
</goal>
</goals>
</execution>
</executions>
<configuration>
<deploymentDirectory>
/Users/ilkerkarakas/temp
</deploymentDirectory>
</configuration>
.............
And here is an excerpt from my plug-in:
............
public void execute() throws MojoExecutionException {
File f = deploymentDirectory;
FileWriter w = null;
if (getLog().isInfoEnabled()) {
getLog().info(
"Starting the build, deploymentDirectory is:
["
+
deploymentDirectory.getAbsolutePath() + "]");
}
try {
if (f.exists() && !PluginUtils.deleteDirectory(f)) {
throw new MojoExecutionException(
"Could not empty target
directory");
} else {
f.mkdirs();
}
String[] directoryTree = new String[] { "src/main/java",
"src/main/resources", "src/test/java",
"src/test/resources", "WebContent" };
for (String dir : directoryTree) {
new File(f, dir).mkdirs();
}
if (getLog().isInfoEnabled()) {
getLog().info("Initializing Spring...");
}
// Start-up the Spring App. Context (It blows here...)
appContext = new ClassPathXmlApplicationContext(
new String[] { "ApplicationContext.xml"
});
...............
And here is the error:
