Laurent Fontvielle commented on MNG-2824: ----------------------------------------- It is possible to use the following workaround: 1.declare the parameter: /** * @parameter expression="${plugin.mojos}" * @required * @readonly */ protected List pluginMojos; 2.In the plugin code, you can access the PluginDescriptor instance with this code: MojoDescriptor mojoDescriptor = (MojoDescriptor) pluginMojos.get(0); PluginDescriptor plugin = mojoDescriptor.getPluginDescriptor(); > Value of parameter with expression=${plugin} is always null in Mojo > ------------------------------------------------------------------- > > Key: MNG-2824 > URL: http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/MNG-2824 > Project: Maven 2 > Issue Type: Bug > Components: Plugin API > Affects Versions: 2.0, 2.0.1, 2.0.2, 2.0.3, 2.0.4 > Environment: I believe it happens everywhere since it's a logic > problem in code > Reporter: Jiaqi Guo > Attachments: MNG-2824-maven-core.patch, MNG-2824-maven-core.patch > > > Parameter with expression="${plugin}" in a Mojo is always null at runtime. > Looking at > http://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/maven/components/tags/maven-2.0.4/maven-core/src/main/java/org/apache/maven/plugin/PluginParameterExpressionEvaluator.java, > line 169 ~ 242, I realized that an "else if" check for "${plugin}" is > missing. So if expression is "plugin", line 233 will be executed. > expression.substring( 1 ) becomes "lugin" and pluginDescriptor.getLugin() > will be called by ReflectionValueExtractor, and returns null because it's > invalid. More detail has been discussed in mailing list: > http://www.nabble.com/Can-anyone-explain-this-code-tf3218981s177.html > The fix is simple. I can just add another condition check for > "plugin".equals(expression). > The problem has been there since 2.0 release but it doesn't exist in trunk. -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA. - If you think it was sent incorrectly contact one of the administrators: http://jira.codehaus.org/secure/Administrators.jspa - For more information on JIRA, see: http://www.atlassian.com/software/jira
