Rob ten Hove closed MDEP-216. ----------------------------- Resolution: Not A Bug Incorrect understanding of documentation. > Specifying parameters on the command-line interface using -D syntax requires > mdep refix. > ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- > > Key: MDEP-216 > URL: http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/MDEP-216 > Project: Maven 2.x Dependency Plugin > Issue Type: Bug > Components: copy-dependencies > Affects Versions: 2.0-alpha-1, 2.0-alpha-2, 2.0-alpha-3, 2.0-alpha-4, 2.0, > 2.1, 2.2 > Environment: Maven 2.0.9, dependency plugin 2.0. > Reporter: Rob ten Hove > Assignee: Brian Fox > Priority: Minor > > I used the dependency:copy-dependencies goal on the command-line, and wanted > to set the "failOnMissingClassifierArtifact" option to "false". > Command-line used: > mvn -Dclassifier=sources -DfailOnMissingClassifierArtifact=false > -DoutputDirectory=x/y/z dependency:copy-dependencies > The problem is that the "failOnMissingClassifierArtifact" remained "true". > This was also visible after running maven in debug mode. After looking in the > source code, I saw that the "failOnMissingClassifierArtifact" class field was > specified as '@parameter expression="${mdep.failOnMissingClassifierArtifact}" > default-value="true"'. > The "outputDirectory" parameter however was specified as '@parameter > expression="${outputDirectory}" > default-value="${project.build.directory}/dependency"'. > Thus, without the "mdep." prefix. > The outputDirectory worked so I changed the commandline to include the > *mdep.* prefix: > mvn -Dclassifier=sources -Dmdep.failOnMissingClassifierArtifact=false > -DoutputDirectory=x/y/z dependency:copy-dependencies > Now it worked. According to the documentation however the "mdep." prefix is > not needed, and I would find it strange if it was needed. I think this > problem is also true for other parameters, maybe even for other goals. -- 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
