Finding Maven properties?

[Russell Gold <ru...@gold-family.us>]

Hi,

How does one get a complete list of available Maven properties? I found a sonatype doc which suggested looking at the Javadoc for the Model class in Maven http://maven.apache.org/ref/3.0.3/maven-model/apidocs/ but I cannot find any mention there of methods which would define project.build.sourceEncoding, which is clearly a real property. That suggests that there must be other properties available that somehow are not part of the model.

- thanks
Russ Gold

a reference list does not exist per-se, because the structure is extensible: 
it's not really "properties" but more pseudo-properties with multiple sources

one reference source of information is the structure documentation: 
http://maven.apache.org/ref/3-LATEST/maven-model-builder/

Hi Russ,

> How does one get a complete list of available Maven properties?

As far as I know, there is no complete list of Maven properties. If I
understand correctly, creating such a list would be tricky, because they
are ultimately resolved dynamically from the Java object model. See "How do
I get a list of all available properties?" in the FAQ:

    http://docs.codehaus.org/display/MAVENUSER/FAQs

There is also a (very incomplete) static list at:

    http://docs.codehaus.org/display/MAVENUSER/MavenPropertiesGuide

If there is something specific you need you may be able to follow the
advice of the FAQ entry linked above: use "mvn help:effective-pom" and
derive your parameter name from what you see there.

Lastly, there is an interesting hack on Stack Overflow that might help you:
