Paul Gazda commented on MANTRUN-177:
------------------------------------
Thank you for the suggestion, Darryl. But in this case it will not achieve what
I am after. There is some additional info that is not in my test case that I
constructed to demonstrate the problem. The purpose of the ant task is to to
look at the machine name it is running on and determine what environment it is
in: pc, dev, test, prd. That allows the correct filters file to be used.
To do this, I had the ant task run in the validation phase and set the file
name that is then used as a <filter> to set the correct db connection values in
a hibernate config file.
In the actual mvn pom I have:
<build>
<filters>
<filter>${filters.file}</filter>
</filters>
...
<plugin>
<artifactId>maven-antrun-plugin</artifactId>
<version>1.7</version>
<executions>
<execution>
<phase>validate</phase>
<configuration>
<target>
... <!-- finds machine name here and sets filter.type
property -->
<property name="thisEnv" value="${filter.type}"/>
<property name="filters.file"
value="../filters/filters.${thisEnv}.properties"/>
<echo message="filters.file = ${filters.file}" />
</target>
...
I don't know of another way for maven to determine what environment it is
running in.

> Key: MANTRUN-177
> URL: https://jira.codehaus.org/browse/MANTRUN-177
> Project: Maven 2.x Antrun Plugin
> Issue Type: Bug
> Affects Versions: 1.7
> Environment: Apache Maven 3.0.4 (r1232337; 2012-01-17 01:44:56-0700)
> Java version: 1.6.0_34, vendor: Sun Microsystems Inc.
> Default locale: en_US, platform encoding: Cp1252
> OS name: "windows 7", version: "6.1", arch: "x86", family: "windows"
> Reporter: Paul Gazda
> Attachments: build.log, pom.xml_test
>
>
> I have a pom.xml that uses maven-antrun-plugin v 1.7 in phase "validate"
> to detect the run environment, and based on that set the appropriate
> filters file path as property "filters.file". exportAntProperties is set to
> true. The filters.file property is supposed to be used in the filters tag
> like this:
> <build>
> <filters>
> <filter>${filters.file}</filter>
> </filters>
> .
> .
> .
> This worked when I was using maven 2.2.1, but since I upgraded to maven
> 3.0.4, the value for filters.file is no longer being passed to the <filter>
> tag.
> I have attached a test pom.xml I created to demonstrate the problem. If "mvn
> install" is run with maven 2.2.1, the value for ${filters.file} is passed to
> maven (the install will fail after this because it is a dummy test, but it is
> clear that the ${filters.file} value has been passed correctly). If I run it
> with maven 3.0.4, the value for ${filters.file} is not passed to maven. I
> have attached and the maven build log from the failed 3.0.4 "mvn install".
