Using settings properties

2011-01-19 Thread mjk
Is it possible to use properties defined in settings.xml within
repositories / and distributionManagement /?

Other properties seem to get resolved during a build, however when I do a
deploy, maven uses the variable name with the leading ${ and trailing },
instead of the resolved variable value.

Any ideas?

Very bad practice! The repositories defined in the pom MUST be possible for
other people (other projects depending on your artifacts) to resolve. Using
properties defined in settings.xml makes that impossible.

Thanks for the advice.  You could have proposed a solution instead of just a
criticism.

Hi

At my company we use properties in the global setting.xml which the 
build is dependent. This make sense since our build is strictly within 
our company and everyone uses the same maven installation

For instance:
(in setting.xml)
profile
idcore/id
properties
adeViewRoot/ade/viper/adeViewRoot
/properties

(in pom.xml)
distributionManagement
repository
idsdp/id
layoutdefault/layout
nameSDP Repository/name
uniqueVersionfalse/uniqueVersion
urlfile://${adeViewRoot}/sdp/maven2-snapshots/url
/repository

I suppose that you could use environment variable, like:
site
idsdp-site/id
nameService Delivery Platform Site/name
urlfile:///net/${env.WEB_SERVER_NAME}${env.WEB_SERVER_BASE_LOCAL_DIR}/${oracle.sdp.release}/${env.ADE_VIEW_LABEL}/reports/url
/site


I think you might want to check the schema for setting.xml to see where 
you can add the element properties.



Cheers
Lucas

I would strongly suggest that you move the distMgmt section to a corporate
parent pom instead. So when (if?) you change the urls, you just update the
parent pom (and yes, you do need to update the reference in any project
inheriting from it). Anything in your pom that could change depending on the
environment is most often a bad idea.

Having a look at how things like this is solved within the open source world
(the apache parent or the codehaus parent), would give you good ideas of
best practice.
