Thanks that works.
I am now hoping to also be able to include the actual
dependency classpath
from the "user" project as well.
i.e. AndroMDA has a base set of plugins. It will
search the classpath for
others. I would like it to be able to find any other
AndroMDA plugins that
are specified in the project.xml of the project using
my AndroMDA maven
plugin.
I have tried this:
<path id="maven-andromda.classpath">
<pathelement
location="${plugin.getDependencyPath('commons-collections:commons-collection
s')}"/>
[snip]
<path refid="maven.dependency.classpath"/>
</path>
<taskdef name="andromda"
classname="org.andromda.core.anttasks.AndroMDAGenTask">
<classpath>
<path refid="maven-andromda.classpath"/>
</classpath>
</taskdef>
but maven.dependency.classpath seems to be empty,
despite there being
entries in the user project dependencies section
Have I got something obvious wrong?
Thanks,
Matthew

Hi,
Maven.dependency.classpath only uses what is in the
project's descriptor,
however if you are just building an ant classpath you
can create the path
with your plugin's dependencies using
dependency.getPath. Here is an example
from cactus:
<ant:path id="cactus.classpath">
<pathelement
location="${plugin.getDependencyPath('cactus:cactus-ant')}"/>
<pathelement
location="${plugin.getDependencyPath('cactus:cactus')}"/>
<pathelement
location="${plugin.getDependencyPath('commons-logging:commons-logging')}"/>
<pathelement
location="${plugin.getDependencyPath('junit:junit')}"/>
<pathelement
location="${plugin.getDependencyPath('commons-httpclient:commons-httpclient'
)}"/>
<pathelement
location="${plugin.getDependencyPath('aspectj:aspectjrt')}"/>
<pathelement
location="${plugin.getDependencyPath('httpunit:httpunit')}"/>
<pathelement
location="${plugin.getDependencyPath('nekohtml:nekohtml')}"/>
<pathelement
location="${plugin.getDependencyPath('xerces:xerces')}"/>
<pathelement
location="${plugin.getDependencyPath('xml-apis:xml-apis')}"/>
<pathelement
location="${plugin.getDependencyPath('rhino:js')}"/>
</ant:path>
<ant:taskdef resource="cactus.tasks"
classpathref="cactus.classpath"/>
Cheers,
Brett
