Herve Boutemy commented on MTOOLCHAINS-6:
-----------------------------------------
I'm actually working on documentation, trying to learn from public information
available at the time work on this happened
I found NPanday's maven-dotnet-toolchain:
https://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/incubator/nmaven/trunk/components/maven-dotnet-toolchain/
Not sure it will work, since there are some mails about problems with
extensions. But it seems one of the most advanced work on other toolchains than
predefined jdk
If you're interested to work with me on this, I'm interested in feedback and
discussions, mutualized research, ...
> 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:
> {code:xml}
> <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>
> {code}
> ...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! :-)
