RE: [m2] Copy the dependencies of a project in a custom plugin

[Allison, Bob]

The tag "@requiresDependencyResolution" has to be on the class, not the
parameter.

The collection of artifacts is empty. When I was using dependencies, it
was
not empty. What am I doing wrong? This is my code:

/**
* @goal process-resources
* @description Copy the dependencies for the InstallShield Merge Module
*/
public class MsmProcessResourcesMojo extends AbstractMojo
{
/**
* @parameter expression="${project.artifacts}"
* @requiresDependencyResolution
*/
private Collection artifacts;

/**
* @parameter expression="${project.build.directory}/resources"
*/
private File targetDirectory;

public MsmProcessResourcesMojo()
{
}

public void execute() throws MojoExecutionException,
MojoFailureException
{
try
{
getLog().info( "Process Resources for InstallShield Merge Module..." );
Iterator iterator = artifacts.iterator();
while (iterator.hasNext())
{
Artifact artifact = (Artifact)iterator.next();
FileUtils.copyFileToDirectory( artifact.getFile(), new File(
targetDirectory, artifact.getType() + "s" ) );
}
}
catch (IOException e)
{
throw new MojoExecutionException( "Error copying artifacts", e );
}
}
}

thank you,

Wim
