Properties get resolved before the LifeCycle is Forked. -------------------------------------------------------
Key: MNG-3530 URL: http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/MNG-3530 Project: Maven 2 Issue Type: Bug Components: General Affects Versions: 2.0.9 Reporter: Nick Pellow Since Maven 2.0.9 -- If a plugin uses a forked lifecycle, then the project properties are resolved by maven before the lifecycle is forked. This means that the forked lifecycle has the non-forked lifecycle's values. This was not the case in maven prior to version 2.0.9, where properties were resolved at a much later time. For example - the attached sample project uses the Clover plugin with the xdoclet plugin. When {code}mvn clean install{code} is run under *Maven-2.0.8* you can see the following output: {code} [INFO] [xdoclet:xdoclet {execution: default}] [INFO] Initializing DocletTasks!!! [INFO] Executing tasks [echo] Build Dir: ${project.build.directory}/test.clover [INFO] Executed tasks {code} whilst *Maven 2.0.9* outputs: {code} [INFO] [xdoclet:xdoclet {execution: default}] [INFO] Initializing DocletTasks!!! [INFO] Executing tasks [mkdir] Created dir: /Users/niick/work/mvnclvr/src/it/mng/xdoclet/target [touch] Creating /Users/niick/work/mvnclvr/src/it/mng/xdoclet/target/test.clover [echo] Build Dir: /Users/niick/work/mvnclvr/src/it/mng/xdoclet/target/test.clover [INFO] Executed tasks [INFO] [resources:resources] {code} The fact the ${project.build.directory} property has been expanded already under 2.0.9, means that the forked lifecycle has the same value for that property. This new behavior will break any plugin which uses a forked lifecycle. -- 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
