I'm trying to set maven.repo.list in a plugin but it does not seem to work. We are using ear:deploy to copy ear files not only to the maven repository, but to pseudo-repositories on our test and production application servers to help ensure that all versions on all servers are identical. We use a convention that a production deploy version number ends in a -prod. I'm trying to write my plugin so that maven.repo.list is set to the maven repository and the two test servers if not a production, and to the maven repository, two test servers, and the three production servers if it IS a production version.
Code follows: <!-- ================================================================ --> <!-- ===== ear goals ===== --> <!-- ================================================================ --> <preGoal name="ear:deploy"> <j:set var="repolist" value="REPOSITORY,TEST03,TEST04"/> <j:if test="${pom.currentVersion.endsWith('prod')}"> <j:set var="repolist" value="REPOSITORY,TEST03,TEST04,PROD05,PROD06,PROD07"/> </j:if> <maven:set plugin="maven-artifact-plugin" property="maven.repo.list" value="${repolist}"/> <echo>maven.repo.list should be set to ${repolist}</echo> <maven:get var="setrepo" property="maven.repo.list" plugin="maven-artifact-plugin"/> <echo>maven.repo.list was set to ${setrepo}</echo> </preGoal> When I run ear:deploy, I get the following (without having maven.repo.list set anywhere): ear:deploy: [echo] maven.repo.list should be set to REPOSITORY,TEST03,TEST04 [echo] maven.repo.list was set to REPOSITORY,TEST03,TEST04 [echo] maven.repo.list is not set - using legacy deploy mode [echo] DEPRECATED: use of deploy:artifact tag and the legacy deploy method are deprecated The first two echo lines are coming from my pre-goal and it appears that the value is being set properly but the artifact plugin is not respecting the value set using maven:set tag.
