Hi,
I'm trying to define a profile that will allow a specific javac version
to be used. In particular, one projects I'm working on (MyFaces) needs
to be compiled using java 1.3 for official releases, though maven
requires java 1.4. Note that using the <target> tag of the compiler
plugin is NOT quite the same!
I'm trying to use a profile to do this, so that people can run:
# use default compiler
mvn install
or
# use specified compiler
mvn -Dcompiler.path=/home/simon/java1.3/bin install
I've got a parent pom with multiple child modules, and have defined the
following profile in the parent pom:
<profiles>
<profile>
<id>release</id>
<activation>
<property>
<name>compiler.path</name>
</property>
</activation>
<build>
<pluginManagement>
<plugins>
<plugin>
<groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId>
<artifactId>maven-compiler-plugin</artifactId>
<configuration>
<executable>${compiler.path}</executable>
</configuration>
</plugin>
</plugins>
</pluginManagement>
</build>
</profile>
</profiles>
However I'm not getting the results I expect; passing a bad jdk path for
example should cause compilation problems but everything just works
fine. Using "mvn -Dcompiler.path=/foo/bar help:active-profiles" shows
that the profile is active for the parent pom but not for child poms.
Any idea why this is not working, or suggestions for a better approach?
Thanks in advance,
Simon
