Sergei Ivanov commented on MTOOLCHAINS-6:
-----------------------------------------
@Hervé: I've just stumbled upon this issue. It's good to know that my little
plugin deserved a mention and was used as a reference implementation for
documenting the use of toolchains. Back in the day I had to learn it the hard
way, piecing together disparate bits of documentation and using the built-in
implementation of java toolchain as a reference. I took a look at your latest
documentation and the examples, and I can only say big thank you for the work
you've done there. I see you even worked around MNG-5718, which I was hit with
today after updating to Maven 3.2.5. That will be of a great to me in fixing my
plugin for compatibility with the latest versions of Maven. Thanks a lot for
that.
> Cannot create custom toolchain type

> Key: MTOOLCHAINS-6
> URL: https://jira.codehaus.org/browse/MTOOLCHAINS-6
> Project: Maven Toolchains Plugin
> Issue Type: Bug
> Affects Versions: 1.0
> Environment: Win 7 Pro SP1 64 Bit, mvn 3.0.4, JDK 1.7.0_45
> Reporter: Markus KARG
> Assignee: Herve Boutemy
> Priority: Blocker
> Fix For: 1.1
>
>
> The web site says that it is possible to use other toolchains besides <jdk>.
> Actually the site links to a nonexistent TBD page. This is very ugly.
> Please tell the truth on the web page: It is simply impossible to use any
> other toolschain type besides <jdk>!
> It would be really cool, if someone could simply write:
> {code:xml}
> <toolchains>
> <type>installshield</type>
> <provides>
> <id>isx</id>
> <version>10.0</version>
> <vendor>macrovision</vendor>
> </provides>
> <configuration>
> <installshieldHome>C:\Program Files (x86)\InstallShield
> X</installshieldHome>
> </configuration>
> </toolchains>
> {code}
> ...and the plugin would in turn simply provide a property that one can read
> in the POM using {{$\{installshieldHome}}} -- without any need to write Java
> code, register custom types, provide more xml, whatever!
> This seems to be such an obvious need that I just cannot believe that it does
> not already work exactly that way in the 1.0 release of the toolchains
> plugin...! :-)
> I really beg for that! :-)
