Markus KARG created MTOOLCHAINS-6:
-------------------------------------
Summary: Cannot create custom toolchain type
Key: MTOOLCHAINS-6
URL: https://jira.codehaus.org/browse/MTOOLCHAINS-6
Project: Maven Toolchains Plugin
Issue Type: Bug
Affects Versions: 1.0
Environment: Win 7 Pro SP1 64 Bit, mvn 3.0.4, JDK 1.7.0_45
Reporter: Markus KARG
Priority: Blocker
The web site says that it is possible to use other toolchains besides <jdk>.
Actually the site links to a nonexistent TBD page. This is very ugly.
*** Please tell the truth on the web page: It is simply impossible to use any
other toolschain type besides <jdk>! ***
It would be really cool, if someone could simply write:
<toolchains>
<type>installshield</type>
<provides>
<id>isx</id>
<version>10.0</version>
<vendor>macrovision</vendor>
</provides>
<configuration>
<installshieldHome>C:\Program Files (x86)\InstallShield
X</installshieldHome>
</configuration>
</toolchains>
...and the plugin would in turn simply provide a property that one can read in
the POM using ${installshieldHome} -- without any need to write Java code,
register custom types, provide more xml, whatever!
This seems to be such an obvious need that I just cannot believe that it does
not already work exactly that way in the 1.0 release of the toolchains
plugin...! :-)
I really beg for that! :-)
