Well on initial testing it doesn't seem to work. Maybe the rpm plugin is
supposed to load the file through some maven resource interface? Right
now, it's doing this:
final Reader reader = new FileReader( scriptFile );
Where scriptFile is a java.io.File. I think this way, it's bypassing
Maven's framework. This could be yet another bug...
Thanks for the help, Csaba

Hi. I have no experience with this plugin but it would seem that you
could first filter the file as a typical maven resource and then have
the plugin point to the filtered version?

Hello,
We're using the rpm plugin for packaging, and we have a problem with its
install script. There are two ways to include a script. One is the
(deprecated) <install> tag. In this case, we would put the bash script
into the pom.xml, which is rather ugly, but it works. The bash script
itself contains Maven variables, and these are replaced by maven before
the script is used by the rpm plugin.
The other way is to user the <installScriptlet> tag. This tag required
the name of an external file, which contains the contents of the bash
script. This is a much cleaner approach. However, the problem is the
maven variables are not replaced in the external file, so the script
doesn't work.
I've looked at the source code of the rpm plugin, and it seems that it
simply opens the external script file, and prints it line-by-line into
the generated spec file, with no modification to the line.
I think it would be a good idea to modify the rpm plugin code at this
point, so that the line is first processed, expanding all maven variables.
How can I do this? How is maven expanding its variables? Is there a
method somewhere like MavenEnv.expandVariables(str) ?
Thanks, Csaba
