Guess I can answer part of my own question. If I want to store this in my
war as /xdocs
in maven-war-plugin's project.properties, the value of maven.war.webapp.dir
is set as per the documents:
maven.war.build.dir = ${maven.build.dir}
maven.war.webapp.dir = ${maven.war.build.dir}/${pom.artifactId}
in my maven.xml:
<j:set var="webapp.xdocs.dir"
value="${pom.getPluginContext('maven-war-plugin').getVariable('maven.war.web
app.dir')}/xdocs" />
will set webapp.xdocs.dir = ${maven.war.build.dir}/${pom.artifactId}/xdocs
This works as a <postGoal name="war:webapp"> because that particular plugin
is loaded, and so it sets these values from it's own plugin.properties.
I've found this doesn't work if I'm trying to get a variable from a plugin
that hasn't been loaded during the execution.
