Class inheritance and maven parameters

2010-02-08 Thread Adam Flinton

Dear All

I have a base class such as

public class CommonAceImporter extends AbstractMojo {

This then contains a number of basic Parameters e.g.

/**
 * Location of the data directory to read from.
 *
 * @parameter
 * @required
 */
public File srcDir;

/**
 * Location of the ace data directory to write to.
 *
 * @parameter
 * @required
 */
public File aceDir;


If I then extend this class and the CommonAceImporter class is in the
same jar everything is OK.

If I refactor and move the CommonAceImporter class into a different
package  a separate jar  then add that jar as a dependency then the
parameters are set but are then reported as being null.

i.e. if I comment out the parameters I get the error saying these params
must be set. If I have them set then if in execute I have:

getLog().info(CommonAceImporter srcDir =  + srcDir);
getLog().info(ACE dir:  + aceDir);
getLog().info(path:  + path);
getLog().info(Effective Date:  + effectiveDate);

Then then above logging reports the parameters as null 

aceDir.mkdirs();

naturally fails as aceDir is null.

So If I have a class which extends AbstractMojo in one package and jar,
and I add it to the dependencies  then I extend thathow come the
parameters are being set but then appear to be null?

Again...the exact same class in the same jar (but still in it's own
package)works fine.

TIA


Adam

Controller POM - central version registry

2009-10-27 Thread Adam Flinton

Dear All,

We have a project which is an assembly of other projects. At present the
versions of these projects is set in individual POM files which means
(A) Someone can set one part to use one version of a sub-project while
another uses a different one
(B) If you want to upgrade a version number you have to run a script
which goes through all pom.xml looking for a string/pattern  settign it
to the new version etc.

I was wondering if it is possible to create a controller pom which
contains a list of all projects which are used by other projects and
their version numbers.

This would then be used by the compile process for those subprojects to
generate the relevantly versioned jar files  then by the projects which
depend on the subfiles to use that version.


In Ant we used to have a central properties file which simply consisted
of project=version  which was included by all.

i.e. imagine a set of Projects called A, B, C and D
In the properties file we would have

A=1.38
B=2.30
C=1.99
D=2.50

This could then be used to swap between development  release by
including/rmoving the -SNAPSHOT e.g.

Development could look like:

A=1.38-SNAPSHOT
B=2.30-SNAPSHOT
C=1.99-SNAPSHOT
D=2.50-SNAPSHOT


This is used in the compilation/packaging of A in A-1.38-SNAPSHOT.jar

 then if B depends on A then it includes A-1.38-SNAPSHOT.jar in it's path.

etc.

TIA

Adam
