No easy way to use parent pom
-----------------------------
Key: MANTTASKS-184
URL: http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/MANTTASKS-184
Project: Maven 2.x Ant Tasks
Issue Type: Bug
Components: deploy task, install task
Affects Versions: 2.1.0
Environment: Ant 1.7.1
Reporter: Marcin Wisnicki
There is no proper way to install or deploy parent pom.
It is not possible to install it directly:
{code:xml}
<artifact:pom id="parent.pom" file="poms/hamcrest-parent.pom"/>
<artifact:install file="poms/hamcrest-parent.pom" pomRefId="parent.pom" />
{code}
Resulting pom will be unprocessed. It's kind of expected but I can't omit file
attribute.
I had to workaround it with additional {{writepom}} step:
{code:xml}
<artifact:pom id="parent.pom" file="poms/hamcrest-parent.pom"/>
<artifact:writepom pomRefId="parent.pom" file="build/poms/hamcrest-parent.pom"/>
<artifact:pom id="parent.pom-1" file="build/poms/hamcrest-parent.pom"/>
<artifact:install file="build/poms/hamcrest-parent.pom" pomRefId="parent.pom-1"
/>
{code}
Possible solutions:
# Make {{file}} attribute completely optional, if not present assume
installation of pom artifact
# Add {{type}} attribute to {{install}} task
# Add separate install-pom task
