How to delegate the execution to other Mojos?
Hello, I would like to create a maven plugin, which would delegate to other plugins based on parameters. Something like mvn mymojo:dotask -Dtask=xxx and then in the dotask mojo I would see what the value of task is, and if it's xxx then execute Mojo1, if it's yyy then Mojo2 etc... How can I do this?

Short answer: Don't Long answer: for a mojo to extend another maven plugin, it will need to depend on that maven plugin. The maven plugin classloader only loads a plugin once, and the first version loaded is the version used forever more (until maven exits). When a newer version of the plugin you depend on is released, you will either force the older version on anyone using your plugin, or the newer version will be forced on you. In either case, the build will probably be broken in a hard to figure out way -Stephen 2009/11/11 Gajo Csaba csaba.g...@cosylab.com: Hello, I would like to create a maven plugin, which would delegate to other plugins based on parameters.

OK so my use case would be mvn do-task -Dtask=xxx Do you suggest I change that into mvn do-task-xxx?

I would suggest that maybe profiles would be better suited... if you specify the defaultGoal in the profile it gets even easier... But to be honest, you are going against *The Maven Way™* This is usually (but not always) a sign that you will soon be fighting Maven, and that is a fight that you can only win with the loss of all of your hair ;-) -Stephen 2009/11/11 Gajo Csaba csaba.g...@cosylab.com: OK so my use case would be mvn do-task -Dtask=xxx Do you suggest I change that into mvn do-task-xxx?
