Markus KARG commented on MTOOLCHAINS-6:
---------------------------------------
Would be a pleasure to contribute to your work, but honestly I have not too
much spare time. So if you have something I can test in my own toolchain, I'll
be honored to try it and report the results, but I doubt I have time to do much
more, unfortunately. Certainly, if my toolchain (for InstallShield X) works, I
will publish it as open source!
> 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! :-)
