mthmulders opened a new pull request #351: URL: https://github.com/apache/maven/pull/351
While working on the _resume_ feature (#342) I noticed that the [`MavenCli#populateRequest` method](https://github.com/apache/maven/blob/c6c7311713b0d60e445b2ffe32c5588791edf7ac/maven-embedder/src/main/java/org/apache/maven/cli/MavenCli.java#L1322) is very long and a bit unstructured. It follows all types of patterns for parsing and processing command line arguments and populating the `MavenExecutionRequest`. I've refactored this method step-by-step. Hence there are a lot of small(ish) commits but I hope this makes it easier to review the changes and verify they don't break anything. The method itself is not easily testable so I couldn't rely on that. Where possible I created a few unit tests. There are some bits & pieces left: * The `determineProjectActivation` and `determineProfileActivation` methods are very much alike. We could merge them but it would lose quite some semantics, so I initially decided not to do so. * The `determineLocalRepositoryPath` only uses information from the `MavenExecutionRequest` itself. I wonder if we could move it into the `DefaultMavenExecutionRequest`, but I'm unsure where / how exactly. ## Checklist - [ ] ~~Make sure there is a [JIRA issue](https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MNG) filed for the change (usually before you start working on it). Trivial changes like typos do not require a JIRA issue. Your pull request should address just this issue, without pulling in other changes.~~ - [X] Each commit in the pull request should have a meaningful subject line and body. - [ ] ~~Format the pull request title like `[MNG-XXX] - Fixes bug in ApproximateQuantiles`, where you replace `MNG-XXX` with the appropriate JIRA issue. Best practice is to use the JIRA issue title in the pull request title and in the first line of the commit message.~~ - [X] Write a pull request description that is detailed enough to understand what the pull request does, how, and why. - [X] Run `mvn clean verify` to make sure basic checks pass. A more thorough check will be performed on your pull request automatically. - [ ] You have run the [Core IT][core-its] successfully. **working on this** I have signed the Individual Contributor License Agreement, and my employer signed the Corporate Contributor License Agreement.
