Michael Osipov commented on MPH-144: ------------------------------------ [~khmarbaise], this is tricky w/o breaking the contract of quiet mode. One could of course write to stout in quiet mode instead of to the logger. > mvn help:evaluate -Dexpression=project.groupId Can't be used in scripts. > ------------------------------------------------------------------------ > > Key: MPH-144 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MPH-144 > Project: Maven Help Plugin > Issue Type: New Feature > Reporter: Karl Heinz Marbaise > Priority: Minor > > Currently if you use {{mvn help:evaluate -Dexpression=project.groupId}} > there will be some lines generated with {{[INFO] ...]]}} If you use {{mvn > help:evaluate -Dexpression=project.groupId -q}} you won't get anything > printed out. > It would be a good idea to have an output via a supplemental parameter like > this: > {{mvn help:evaluate -Dexpression=project.groupId -Dstdout=true -q}} to get > printed out the information like this (: > {code} > 0.2.0-SNAPSHOT > {code} > this would give the opportunity to use the call within scripts etc. > Also might be possible in one go: > {{mvn help:evaluate -Dexpression=project.groupId -DoutputFile=result.txt -q}} > to write the expression result into a file. > Or the question is if it would be possible/good idea to print out the > resulting expression anyway (ignoring -q for only {{[INFO]...}} parts) > {{mvn help:evaluate -Dexpression=project.groupId -q}} -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v7.6.3#76005)
