[ http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/MNG-2063?page=comments#action_75624 ] Brett Porter commented on MNG-2063: -----------------------------------
it doesn't necessarily need to be a system property, but I also wouldn't limit it to CLI property. It might be a good idea to be able to set some global properties in your IDE configuration too, or some other embedded scenario. > deprecate expression, add system-property > ----------------------------------------- > > Key: MNG-2063 > URL: http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/MNG-2063 > Project: Maven 2 > Issue Type: Improvement > Components: Plugins and Lifecycle > Reporter: Brett Porter > Assigned To: Jason van Zyl > Fix For: 2.1 > > > expression is confusing. It is used for both default-value, and to allow > configuration of what system property to accept. However, now that > default-value takes expressions, it is redundant for that and can be > confusing, and because of its legacy in handling that, it is in the wrong > order for system property handling (see MNG-2062). > I propose we deprecate expression in favour of default-value, and add > system-property="someProperty" as the way to configure what command line > option can be used. -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA. - If you think it was sent incorrectly contact one of the administrators: http://jira.codehaus.org/secure/Administrators.jspa - For more information on JIRA, see: http://www.atlassian.com/software/jira
