Hi,
This is the second part of: how accessing properties from settings in test classes? Second idea: I found the properties-maven-plugin which has a goal that writes all settings properties into a file. Fine, that's what I need. However, this plugin is not on the rep01.maven server but only on a codehaus server. So I defined an additional repository: <pluginRepositories> <pluginRepository> <id>codehaus</id> <name>codehaus Repository for plugins</name> <url>http://snapshots.repository.codehaus.org</url> <layout>default</layout> </pluginRepository> </pluginRepositories> However, Maven was not able to download the plugin. It ignores the pluginRepository and searches only on central. Why defining a pluginRepository when it is not used by Maven? Freundliche Grüße / Kind regards Wolfgang Winter System Analyst
