------------------------------
Summary: Can't override a profile setting in a plugin's dependency
Key: MNG-5511
URL: https://jira.codehaus.org/browse/MNG-5511
Project: Maven 2 & 3
Issue Type: Bug
Components: Dependencies
Affects Versions: 3.0.4
Environment: OS X 10.8.3
Reporter: David Hay
We are trying to use the mojo cobertura plugin in our project. However, it
won't run my Mac Book Pro (OS X, 10.8.3) as Apple very kindly decided to move
tools.jar and embed it into classes.jar in a completely different directory.
The plugin depends on cobertura, which defines the following property in its
mac profile:
<profile>
<id>OSXProfile</id>
<activation>
<os>
<family>mac</family>
</os>
</activation>
<properties>
<toolsjar>${java.home}/../lib/tools.jar</toolsjar>
</properties>
</profile>
and the accompanying dependency:
<dependency>
<groupId>com.sun</groupId>
<artifactId>tools</artifactId>
<version>0</version>
<scope>system</scope>
<systemPath>${toolsjar}</systemPath>
</dependency>
This is wrong for Mac OS 10.8.3 running Java 6 on two counts - the lib
directory is at ${java.home}/lib and the tools.jar doesn't exist in the lib
directory as apple decided to put those clases in
${java.home}/../Classes/classes.jar.
I therefore need to be able to override the <toolsjar> setting, but nothing
I've tried works.
I have tried adding my own profile and setting <toolsjar> appropriately, but it
seems to be ignored. I also tried specifying it on the command line, and
again, it complains it can't find ../lib/tools.jar.
This is a show-stopper for us.
