<outputDirectory> incorrectly evaluates ${project.build.directory} as current-dir relative ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Key: MCOMPILER-51 URL: http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/MCOMPILER-51 Project: Maven 2.x Compiler Plugin Issue Type: Bug Environment: Mac OS X 10.4.8, JDK 1.5.0_06 Reporter: Matt Bishop Priority: Minor This affects 2.0.4, I have not tested on other versions. If a pom.xml's ${project.build.directory} is set to an absolute path and the same pom.xml's project/build/outputDirectory references this property, the compiler sends built classes to a path relative to the current dir. However, if the outputDirectory property is hard-coded to the absolute path, then the build classes are properly dropped in the absolute path. Example: <build> <directory>/Volumes/RamDisk/target</directory> <outputDirectory>${project.build.directory}/classes</outputDirectory> Incorrectly sends javac output to /Users/matt/myProject/Volumes/RamDisk/target/classes However: <build> <directory>/Volumes/RamDisk/target</directory> <outputDirectory>${project.build.directory}/classes</outputDirectory> Correctly sends javac output to /Volumes/RamDisk/target/classes As a note, other users of an absolute ${project.build.directory} handle the path correctly, such as the maven-war-plugin. -- 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
