Prioritise dependencies in classpath tag
----------------------------------------
Key: MEXEC-53
URL: http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/MEXEC-53
Project: Maven 2.x Exec Plugin
Issue Type: New Feature
Components: java
Affects Versions: future
Environment: patch built on top of trunk at revision 7287
Reporter: Tristan King
Priority: Trivial
Attachments: exec-maven-plugin.diff
I had a problem where I needed to prioritise specific jars to ensure they
appear at the start of the classpath so I wrote this patch.
to use it, simply put <priority> tags in the <classpath> section.
i.e. the following will ensure that commons-io and commons-lang appear in the
front of the classpath of everything else.
{code:xml}
<configuration>
<executable>java</executable>
<arguments>
<argument>-classpath</argument>
<classpath>
<priority>commons-io:commons-io</priority>
<priority>commons-lang:commons-lang</priority>
</classpath>
</arguments>
</configuration>
{code}
As far as i can tell the patch doesn't disrupt any existing functionality, and
<dependency> tags can be used in unison with the <priority> tags.
still to do: testing (maybe someone who is more familiar with this would be
better suited to build the tests).
