Herve Boutemy commented on MTOOLCHAINS-6: ----------------------------------------- after creation of a full IT, documentation on custom tolchain added in [r1637610|http://svn.apache.org/r1637610] please review http://maven.eu.apache.org/plugins-archives/maven-toolchains-plugin-LATEST/toolchains/custom.html and give feedback before I release > 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! :-) -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v6.1.6#6162)
