Resources plugin does not filter systemproperties properly ----------------------------------------------------------
Key: MRESOURCES-15 URL: http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/MRESOURCES-15 Project: Maven 2.x Resources Plugin Type: Bug Environment: maven 2.0.2, tested on Mac OS X, Windows XP Reporter: Janis Schuller I tried to use filtering to introduce build-time information into some binaries. I used the filtering mechanism as described in the maven getting started guide, but I did not succeed. If you try to filter e.g. ${os.name} it will be filtered to the same result as using ${pom.name}. Other system properties such as java.version=${java.version} are simply not filtered and appear untouched in the resulting file in the target-dir. (Just follow getting started guide section filtering to reproduce) I think I located the problem (or a part of it): In the resources-plugin's Mojo Code in ResourcesMojo.java in initializeFiltering() private void initializeFiltering() throws MojoExecutionException { // System properties filterProperties = new Properties( System.getProperties() ); ..... the filter is initialized with default-values from System.getProperties(); These properties are not added to the Hashtable the Properties object is extending but to an internal member of Properties called defaults. In getProperty() a second lookup to the internal member is performed in case of a null return of super.get(key) -- but the filtering is done via org.codehaus.plexus.util.InterpolationFilterReader which just calls get() on the supplied variables Map (in our case a properties object) Simple solution would be to explicitly add all system properties to the filter object: private void initializeFiltering() throws MojoExecutionException { // System properties filterProperties = new Properties(); filterProperties.putAll(System.getProperties()); ..... Hope that helps Janis -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA. - If you think it was sent incorrectly contact one of the administrators: http://jira.codehaus.org/secure/Administrators.jspa - For more information on JIRA, see: http://www.atlassian.com/software/jira
