Paul Gier commented on MNG-3150:
--------------------------------
I tried using profiles initially, but it started becoming very complicated.
The difficult requirement is that I want transitive dependencies to work, so
this means that I can't just do something like build an additional artifact
with a -jdk14 classifier. I need two separate artifacts with two different
sets of dependencies, jdk1.5 and jdk1.4.
So getting transitive dependencies to work correctly means that I really need
two separate artifactIds and two separate sets of dependencies. So I tried to
use a profile to create two artifactIds from the same pom. This means I had
something like
<artifactId>my-project${artifactClassifier}</artifactId>
Then I need to put all of my dependencies for the default build and the jdk1.4
build into two separate profiles. The only exception is the dependencies that
are already jdk1.4 compatibly like junit and a few others, those can go in the
regular dependency section. However, most of the dependencies, like the
inter-module stuff and dependencies on other jboss projects, would have to be
in a profile like this:
<profiles>
<profile>
<id>jdk15</id>
<dependencies>
...
</dependencies>
</profile>
<profile>
<id>jdk14</id>
<dependencies>
...
</dependencies>
</profile>
<profiles>
The main problem with this is that in order to use the jdk14 artifact, outside
projects will have to make sure that they activate the correct profiles
throughout the dependency tree or they will get the wrong dependencies.
If the profile is activated by id (-P jdk14), then the matching profile in the
dependency is not automatically enabled. A property could be used to activate
profiles in the dependency poms, but it can be difficult to enforce the same
property in each project. And if different properties are used,
then the poms in the dependency tree will have to be searched for the correct
properties to activate each of the correct profiles.

> I have a multi module project where I would like to have parrallel builds.
> The default pom.xml build would be using jdk1.5 or jdk6, and the parrallel
> build pom would be for creating retro compiled jdk14 artifacts. So the pom
> for this build would be "pom-jdk14.xml". I've explored other options such as
> using a classifier for the retro translated artifact, and using profiles to
> choose between jdk1.5 and jdk1.4 builds. But both of these have problems
> that I can't get around without a lot of difficulty.
> Using two separate poms works great for me for a single module project, but
> for a multi module project, I have no way to tell the modules to pick up a
> different pom.xml file.
> So for my multi module build I would like to be able to say
> mvn -f pom-jdk14.xml install
> And each module should then look for it's own pom-jdk14.xml. This could be
> made into the default behaviour of the "-f" option, or a new option could be
> introduced like "-fg" to use the other pom file globally across all the
> module.
