Short question: Should a property I set in a preGoal retain it's value for the goal itself and if not how can I achieve this?
Long version: I have a turbine app that I am in the process of mavenizing. With ant I had a number of targets for building deployment targets for different servers (the servers use different servlet names as well as other properties that I filter as part of the build process). I am attempting to do the same thing with maven, but the approach I am taking is not working. I have env1.properties and env2.properties that define the base directory to which I want the webapp to be generated. I have a pregoal name="war.webapp" that reads the appropriate env?properties file (depending on a property I set at the command line) and then sets maven.war.build.dir to a value that is computed from a property obtained from the env?properties file. My problem is that even though an echo at the end of the preGoal shows the property set to the value I desire, it clearly doesn't have this value in the goal itself. Is there a way to make this work, or alternatively a better approach to what I am attempting to do? Thanks, Scott -- Scott Eade Backstage Technologies Pty.
