Am I the only one who misses ant's '-find' command line option? I realize I
can use maven's '-d' option to specify the working directory, but this makes
switching between projects/platforms pretty awkward. I'd rather just have
it use the first maven.xml (project.xml?) it finds searching up the
directory tree.
It would be easy enough to add a find option, but because maven uses two
config files (maven.xml and project.xml) instead of ant's one (build.xml),
I'm not sure which one it should find.
I was thinking maybe the App.initializeCore method could do something like
this:
if (getCli().hasOption("f"))
{
File file = find (getCli().getOptionValue("f"));
getMaven().setProjectBuildFile (file);
getMaven().setDir (file.getParent());
}
....
File find (String filename) throws FileNotFoundException
{
// An empty string should resolve to the current directory (user.dir)
return find (new File (""), filename);
}
File find (File start, String suffix) throws FileNotFoundException
{
if (start == null) {
throw new FileNotFoundException();
}
File dir = start.getAbsoluteFile();
File file = new File(dir, suffix);
return file.exists() ? file : find (dir.getParentFile(), suffix);
}
