Hello, I had the pleasure of attending the Maven User's group meeting last week and meeting Shane. I mentioned to Shane that i thought it would be useful to be able to parameterized instantiations (imports) of mixins. But I couldn't think of a good use case at the time.
Here is a suggestion for a use case that would benefit from the ability to parameterize. In this pom.xml >> http://svn.sonatype.org/m2eclipse/trunk/org.maven.ide.eclipse.parent/pom.xml there is a comment " copy and paste from maven-archetype, is there a better way? " It would seem mixins are the better way here. You would want to define the mixin with the variable ${maven.version} as a parameter. Then in the above pom you'd invoke the mixin fragment (with $maven.version becoming bound to whatever it's setting is in importing pom's context.) Hope that's useful. Thanks.. Chris
