I can use
${pom.getPluginContext('maven-WHATEVER-plugin').getVariable('XXX')} only if
that WHATEVER plugin was invoked prior to the pre or post Goal I'm working
with. I think it has to load that stuff from the plugin's
project.properties, I don't yet know of a way to "easily" load those
properties files.
I was using the xdoc plugin, and for some reason wanted to include the
target/docs in my WAR. Since it's always convenient to use the default
properties when they work, I wanted to use the xdoc properties.
If I run:
$ maven xdoc
$ maven war
rather than:
$ maven xdoc war
then the xdoc properties would not be available to my war:webapp postGoal
using the
${pom.getPluginContext('maven-xdoc-plugin').getVariable('maven.xdoc.dest.dir
')} (or whatever it was).
What if I have several versions of the plugin, including a SNAPSHOT? Maven
seems to know how to load the latest and greatest, perhaps I'd have to write
a plugin to do all that for me: maven-loadUninvokedPluginProperties-plugin
or some such.
