Summary: toolchain.xml file should support environment variables Key: MTOOLCHAINS-18 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MTOOLCHAINS-18 Project: Maven Toolchains Plugin Issue Type: Improvement Affects Versions: 1.1 Environment: Windows 7 64bit Reporter: Nicolas Radde Priority: Minor When the toolchain.xml file is configured as follow : {code:xml} <toolchain> <type>jdk</type> <provides> <version>1.8</version> <vendor>sun</vendor> </provides> <configuration> <jdkHome>${env.JDK_HOME_8}</jdkHome> </configuration> </toolchain> {code} The execution of a maven compile fail with the following error : {noformat} [ERROR] Failed to execute goal org.apache.maven.plugins:maven-toolchains-plugin: 1.1:toolchain (default) on project monitoring-mq-web: Misconfigured toolchains. Non-existing JDK home configuration at L:\test-monitoring-mq\${env.JDK_HOME_8} -> [Help 1] {noformat} While the environment variable *JDK_HOME_8* exist. Using environment variable is a very convenient way to have the same toolchain.xml file for all developers or jenkins slaves and would be a nice addition to the plugin. -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v6.3.4#6332)
