Markus KARG created MTOOLCHAINS-6: ------------------------------------- Summary: Cannot create custom toolchain type Key: MTOOLCHAINS-6 URL: https://jira.codehaus.org/browse/MTOOLCHAINS-6 Project: Maven Toolchains Plugin Issue Type: Bug Affects Versions: 1.0 Environment: Win 7 Pro SP1 64 Bit, mvn 3.0.4, JDK 1.7.0_45 Reporter: Markus KARG Priority: Blocker
The web site says that it is possible to use other toolchains besides <jdk>. Actually the site links to a nonexistent TBD page. This is very ugly. *** Please tell the truth on the web page: It is simply impossible to use any other toolschain type besides <jdk>! *** It would be really cool, if someone could simply write: <toolchains> <type>installshield</type> <provides> <id>isx</id> <version>10.0</version> <vendor>macrovision</vendor> </provides> <configuration> <installshieldHome>C:\Program Files (x86)\InstallShield X</installshieldHome> </configuration> </toolchains> ...and the plugin would in turn simply provide a property that one can read in the POM using ${installshieldHome} -- without any need to write Java code, register custom types, provide more xml, whatever! This seems to be such an obvious need that I just cannot believe that it does not already work exactly that way in the 1.0 release of the toolchains plugin...! :-) I really beg for that! :-) -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v6.1.6#6162)
