Warning messages for properties in pom.xml files
------------------------------------------------
Key: ARCHETYPE-219
URL: http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/ARCHETYPE-219
Project: Maven Archetype
Issue Type: Bug
Affects Versions: 2.0-alpha-4
Environment: Windows or Mac OS X
Apache Maven 2.0.9
Reporter: Pat Podenski
Priority: Minor
Attachments: foo-archetype.zip
Property expression in pom.xml are not escaped when creating an archetype from
a project. As a result warning messages appear during project creation from the
archetype.
I was able to eliminate the warning messages by escaping the property
expressions. For example, in a pom.xml file, I added a #set for escaping '$' at
the beginning of the pom.xml and then applied the escape to the property
expression as shown below:
#set( $symbol_dollar = '$' )
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
....
....
<directory>${symbol_dollar}{basedir}/src/main/resources</directory>
If the archetype plugin would detect these property expressions and provide the
escaping, then it would not be necessary to go through each pom.xml (e.g., in a
multimodule project) and hand edit the escapes for property expressions.
I am enclosing a simple multimodule project archetype in which I added the
escape by hand editing the pom.xml of the sub module.
