Re: plugin.jelly variables not available in

[Gilles Dodinet]

ive encountered such a problem some time ago. i solved it by adding a 
namespace pointing to the plugin (or so it seems) : 

<project xmlns:test="test" ..> ... </project>

where test  is the test plugin (maven-test-plugin). - please note that 
after that the 'test' namespace was never used.

im really not sure if this should work (perhaps if this was just a 
side-effect), tho it has for me. maybe this can help.

Most plugins have a hook that you can add as a prereq (although not on a
preGoal - you'd need to do that differently by preGoal calling attainGoal on
the content).
Eg. War:load does nothing but bring the plugin into action.

This is likely to change in the future.

I can use 
${pom.getPluginContext('maven-WHATEVER-plugin').getVariable('X
XX')} 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.

Does ${pom.getPluginContext('maven-war-plugin').getVariable('XXX')}
help?

I'm playing around with a postGoal for webapp ...

<postGoal name="war:webapp">
....
</postGoal>
I'm copying the docs directory generated by the xdoc 
       

plugin into my .war
   

I notice in the plugin documentation that certain values such as
maven.war.webapp.dir have default values.  I look in the
       

maven-war-plugin's
     

plugin.jelly and see where they are set.  Yet these values are not
       

available
     

to my maven.xml postGoal, in fact they have no value at 
       

all by the time
   

they
     

get there. I have to manually set them in
project.properties/build.properties or even reset them to the same
       

values in
     

my maven.xml postGoal.  It would be nice if I could use 
       

the expected
   

defaults in postGoals, is there a setting somewhere that 
       

can take care
   

of
     

this?
