> Can't override a profile setting in a plugin's dependency
> ---------------------------------------------------------

> Key: MNG-5511
> URL: https://jira.codehaus.org/browse/MNG-5511
> Project: Maven 2 & 3
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: Dependencies
> Affects Versions: 3.0.4
> Environment: OS X 10.8.3
> Reporter: David Hay
>
> We are trying to use the mojo cobertura plugin in our project. However, it
> won't run on my Mac Book Pro (OS X, 10.8.3) as Apple very kindly decided to
> move tools.jar and embed it into classes.jar in a completely different
> directory.
> The plugin depends on cobertura, which defines the following property in its
> mac profile:
> <profile>
> <id>OSXProfile</id>
> <activation>
> <os>
> <family>mac</family>
> </os>
> </activation>
> <properties>
> <toolsjar>${java.home}/../lib/tools.jar</toolsjar>
> </properties>
> </profile>
> and the accompanying dependency:
> <dependency>
> <groupId>com.sun</groupId>
> <artifactId>tools</artifactId>
> <version>0</version>
> <scope>system</scope>
> <systemPath>${toolsjar}</systemPath>
> </dependency>
> This is wrong for Mac OS 10.8.3 running Java 6 on two counts - the lib
> directory is at ${java.home}/lib and the tools.jar doesn't exist in the lib
> directory as apple decided to put those clases in
> ${java.home}/../Classes/classes.jar.
> I therefore need to be able to override the <toolsjar> setting, but nothing
> I've tried works.
> I have tried adding my own profile and setting <toolsjar> appropriately, but
> it seems to be ignored. I also tried specifying it on the command line, and
> again, it complains it can't find ../lib/tools.jar.
> This is a show-stopper for us.
