Is only binding plugins to lifecycles a regression? ---------------------------------------------------
Key: MNG-2415 URL: http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/MNG-2415 Project: Maven 2 Type: Improvement Components: Profiles, Plugins and Lifecycle Reporter: Al Robertson Firstly, m2 - fantastic effort b.t.w. I have written a profile for the WAR plugin in m2 to replicate some maven 1 jelly defined in a post:Goal. Its purpose is to alter the webapp (delete a file in the example) for certain situations, e.g. a production war compared with a development war. I'm doing this with the antrun plugin. My issue is that I can't bind it to a lifecycle phase - "package" in this case. I want to execute the ant tasks on the exploded war before it is archived - that's in-between phases! Any thoughts on how I can achieve this? With m1, we could use pre & post goal. Binding functionality to a lifecycle seems to be a regression when a lifecycle phase consists of a number of goals. I can't find any docs on binding to anything but the lifecycle. Should 'package' should be split into package-explode and package-archive? <profile> <id>prod</id> <build> <plugins> <plugin> <artifactId>maven-antrun-plugin</artifactId> <executions> <execution> <phase>package</phase> <configuration> <tasks> <echo>Delete default.xml</echo> <delete file="${project.build.directory}/${project.build.finalName}/WEB-INF/xml/models/default.xml" /> </tasks> </configuration> <goals> <goal>run</goal> </goals> </execution> </executions> </plugin> </plugins> </build> <activation> <property> <name>prod</name> </property> </activation> </profile> Thanks, Al -- 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
