Brett Porter updated MNG-3646:
------------------------------
Fix Version/s: 2.0.x
please review if this use case works for you in 2.0.10 as the order of
interpolation and alignment has been corrected in some cases.
> project's output directory cannot be set to absolute path
> ---------------------------------------------------------
>
> Key: MNG-3646
> URL: http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/MNG-3646
> Project: Maven 2
> Issue Type: Bug
> Affects Versions: 2.0.8
> Reporter: Ittay Dror
> Fix For: 2.0.x
>
>
> I want to be able to set the output (target) directory to some absolute path
> outside of the source tree. What I'm trying to do is set <build><directory>
> to ${output}/${project.artifactId}/${project.groupId}, where 'output' is
> passed from the command line.
> Looking at the 2.0.8 code, this is what happens:
> * DefaultMavenProjectBuilder.buildInternal calls
> pathTranslator.alignToBaseDirectory( project.getModel(),
> projectDescriptor.getParentFile() );
> * DefaultPathTranslagor.alignToBaseDirectory calles build.setDirectory,
> build.setSourceDirectory and build.setTestSourceDirectory all with calling
> the method alignToBaseDirectory(String, File) where the string is the current
> value of the above and File is the base directory
> * alignToBaseDirectory(String, File) calls requiresBaseDirectoryAlignment
> with the string
> * requiresBaseDirectoryAlignment constructs a File on top of the string and
> then calls File.isAbsolute to find if the path is absolute
> * since a path in the form of "${something}" is not considered by File to be
> absolute, alignToBaseDirectory adds basedir to the path.
> So the final result is that passing -Doutput=/tmp results in the output
> directory being set to something like
> /home/ittayd/dev/tmp/com.company/artifact which is not what I intended.
> I can go around this in linux by using
> '/${output}/${project.artifactId}/${project.groupId}', but this won't work in
> windows (for two reasons: 1. '/' is not interpreted as a path separator (in
> Win32FileSystem) and 2. even if it did, it will not allow setting output to
> 'D:\TEMP')
