AFAIK, so if you're trying to configure another plugin with those properties (i.e. using properties in the plugin's configuration section), you can only "see" the antrun-updated values if you don't explicitly reference the properties in the POM, but instead rely on lazily-resolved expressions
i.e./e.g. if configuring invoker, and you want to set the ignoreFailures [1] configuration element, any value you set in the pom, whether direct or through a property, is resolved once and only once, before validate runs OTOH, if you leave out the <ignoreFailures> configuration element, and instead set ${maven.test.failure.ignore} (its mapped expression) with antrun, the plugin will see the value as long as it was called after antrun hope that makes sense, long day, rambling answer [1] http://maven.apache.org/plugins/maven-invoker-plugin/run-mojo.html#ignoreFailures -- View this message in context: http://maven.40175.n5.nabble.com/Shuttling-Property-Values-between-Maven-and-Ant-tp2641670p2641691.html Sent from the Maven - Users mailing list archive at Nabble.com. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: users-unsubscr...@maven.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: users-h...@maven.apache.org
