RE: Any interest in a maven-properties-plugin?

2006-10-26 Thread Ian Springer
I'd also find very useful a goal (or an option to the existing
write-properties goal) that echoes all properties, or a set of specified
properties, to the console - along the same line as the echoproperties
Ant task
(http://ant.apache.org/manual/OptionalTasks/echoproperties.html). This
would be handy for two purposes:

1) debugging the build
2) printing certain properties (e.g. java.version) during the build for
informational purposes

Re: Any interest in a maven-properties-plugin?

2006-10-16 Thread Zarar Siddiqi


Once you invoke the plugin on dev.properties, any properties in the file
will become part of the build. So if the property file contained:

var1=value1
var2=value2

It would be the equivalent of you declaring the following in your pom.xml or
settings.xml:


  value1
  value2


So you can either:

A) specify one property file which contains all your properties
OR
B) declare them manually in your pom.xml or settings.xml

Note that you don't have to do both A and B, just one of them.

I like the simplicity of A and the power to have multiple property files is
also nice.

I have a question about this plugin
is this going to allow me to pull a file from the local machine:

c:/etc/config/dev.properties

Then put those parameters into scope of the build. Similiar to settings.xml

Re: Any interest in a maven-properties-plugin?

I think there is certainly some interest in this kind of plugin. In
particular, the write-project-properties functionality might be useful
to build up properties files used by Spring etc.

However, it should be named properties-maven-plugin, as it does not
originate from the Maven Dev team.

Any interest in a maven-properties-plugin?

2006-10-16 Thread Zarar Siddiqi

I've written a plugin that serves as a good utility in handling properties. 
Given the many questions on this mailing list about handling properties for
different environments and I/O'ing them from files, I think this would help
in alleviating this problem.

It has three goals (for now):

1. read-project-properties: Given a set of property files in name=value
format, it reads them and stores them as project properties.  This would be
nice for those of us that store environment specific information in
different property files.

2. write-project-properties: Writes project properties to a given file. 
Helpful when some properties need to be available at runtime (e.g.: Spring's
PropertyPlaceholderConfigurer)

3. write-active-profile-properties:  Writes the properties of any active
profiles to a file.

The above three are the use cases that I've encountered.  I'm sure there are
many more.

If there is any interest in such a plugin, do respond to this and I will
make a site for it and start the process of submitting a plugin to
org.codehaus.mojo.
