Jason,

So I played around with expressions some more to see if I couldn't inject what was needed. From what I can tell the the expression evaluator is only applied to Mojos with Expressions in the compiler component being ignored. Ideally this compiler would leverage the standard compiler plugin (providing 'scons' as the compilerId to have it defer to the scons plexus compiler instance). If I was to add extra expressions I'd need to extend the compiler
plugin to aggregate them.

Am I missing something? can expressions be used in simple plexus components? Will I need to extend the compiler plugin to get what I need? Thanks for
your help with this.

rgds,

To compile some internal linux based projects I'm looking to write a
simple compiler that creates an scons or waf build file from the compiler configuration. I'm hoping to hook the artifacts the script creates back
into maven so that it can manage them. We have fairly simple build
requirements this far (i.e. a single platform) and internal knowledge of scons, hence this scons approach over something like the NAR or native
plugins.

I completely agree about coupling the compiler to the project object, I didn't like that approach from the beginning. I'll give the expressions another try and hopefully that will give me what I need. Thanks for your
help.

Hi there,

I've been playing around with developing a simple compiler. Its
coming along
nicely, but for one thing. The configuration that gets passed to the
compiler instance is great, but not as complete as I would like.
Ideally I
would like to have access to the MavenProject object at the compiler
level
in order to grab the little bits of extra information I need. I'm
wondering
if there is any way to have the complier injected with the Maven
project,
similar to how the mojos are injected with dependencies, or via the
plexus
container or otherwise?


Coupling the compiler to a MavenProject is probably not a good idea.
Extract what you need using the expressions and pass them into you
component. Even if you are only using Maven it means that no one else
will be able to use the compiler outside the confines of Maven.

What kind of compiler are you making? Not similar to what we have now?

Thanks in advance.

regards,

stephen
