Benjamin Bentmann closed MNG-2363. ---------------------------------- Assignee: Benjamin Bentmann Resolution: Fixed Fix Version/s: (was: 2.2.x) 3.0-alpha-3 Fixed in [r788334|http://svn.apache.org/viewvc?view=rev&revision=788334]. > <profile><activation><file><exists/> does not work in a multi-project build > --------------------------------------------------------------------------- > > Key: MNG-2363 > URL: http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/MNG-2363 > Project: Maven 2 > Issue Type: Bug > Components: Profiles > Reporter: David Boden > Assignee: Benjamin Bentmann > Priority: Critical > Fix For: 3.0-alpha-3 > > Attachments: DefaultMavenProjectBuilder.java, > DefaultMavenProjectBuilder.java, DefaultMavenProjectBuilder.java.diff, > problemactivation.zip, screenshot-1.jpg > > > I would expect each subproject to have the profile turned on or off depending > on whether ${basedir}/file-to-check-for exists. > Instead, during a multi-project build the profile is either on or off > depending on whether the file exists relative to the *aggregator pom*. The > decision is made once. > Variable substitution doesn't work, so I can't explicitly use > <exists>${basedir}/file-to-check-for</exists> or any variation on this theme > to workaround the bug. > Some background to my particular problem. I have 10 modules to build. Some of > them are GUI modules and contain a file called plugin.xml in the subproject > directory. I want to package these up specially and sign them, ready for > deployment to webstart. The other modules are shared and server code and I > don't want these packaged in the same way. So, I've got a dependency in my > *parent* pom file which activates a profile called "guibundle" if a > plugin.xml file exists in the subproject directory. -- 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
