Milos Kleint commented on MNG-2180: ----------------------------------- another usecase is the IDE integration where I need to check the location of generated sources for example. or I need to figure out the version of the javac that is used by the compiler plugin..etc.. > Allow aggregation mojos to access plugin configurations > ------------------------------------------------------- > > Key: MNG-2180 > URL: http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/MNG-2180 > Project: Maven 2 > Type: Improvement > Components: Plugin API > Versions: 2.0.3 > Reporter: Vincent Massol > > > Here's my use case: > * I'm writing an aggregated report for the clover plugin. It needs to locate > all children's clover databases and merge them into a single one and then > generate a report out of it > * The location of the Clover databases is stored in plugin's configuration > * The problem is that I cannot access a plugin configuration using the plugin > API > This is a general problem. By definition any aggregation mojo needs to access > configuration information from its children. Some time out of sheer luck the > information the plugin needs is found in the general section of the POM. > However this is very limited and forbids any use case where the configuration > is stored in <plugin><configuration>. -- 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
