Antw: RE: Which variables are available, e.g. for
thexdoclet-maven-plugin?
Hi,
thanks for your reply. It was already "a little helpful". But I have one further question:
Obviously I can't find out all available variables in this way. For example the variable ${java.home} (which is used on http://maven.apache.org/guides/introduction/introduction-to-dependency-mechanism.html) is available, but is set somwhere else.
Does anybody know, where these variables are initialized and where I can find them? Additionally I would like to set some variables on my own. I just don't understand the mechanism behind this.
thanks a lot in advance,
Stefan

Hi,
AFAIK this variable (project.build.outputDirectory) comes from pom.xml as follows:
<project>
...
<build>
<outputDirectory>target/classes</outputDirectory>
</build>
...
</project>
Hope this helps.

Subject: Which variables are available, e.g. for

Hello,
on the page for the xdoclet-maven-plugin there is an example, which
contains a variable ${project.build.outputDirectory}.
Where can I find out generally, which variables are available in a
pom.xml? And another question is: Can I define my own variables
somwhere?
Would be great, if anyone can tell me.
Bye,
Stefan

Re: Antw: RE: Which variables are available, e.g. for thexdoclet-maven-plugin?
Posted by "ir. ing. Jan Dockx" <ja...@mac.com>.
You can add a section to the pom like this:
<properties>
<ppw.javaSourceDirectory>src/main/java</ppw.javaSourceDirectory>
<ppw.torytSourceDirectory>src/test/toryt</ppw.torytSourceDirectory>
...
</properties>
and access those properties as ${ppw.javaSourceDirectory} and
${ppw.torytSourceDirectory}.
For the rest: you are absolutely right. It is impossible to find out
which properties do exist. For us, ${project.build.outputDirectory}
does not work, whatever the docs say. Point is, these must be some
ant/velocity style properties that are defined somewhere, hard coded.
It would be incredibly helpful if maven would phase that out, and
instead use an EL, like Commons EL or OGNL.
To see what doesn't work, we use ant echo's bound to some phase, like
this:
<build>
...
<plugins>
....
<plugin>
<artifactId>maven-antrun-plugin</artifactId>
<executions>
<execution>
<phase>validate</phase>
<configuration>
<tasks>
<echo>!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!</echo>
<echo>!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!</echo>
<echo>!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!</echo>
<echo>!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!</echo>
<echo>user.name: ${user.name}</echo>
<echo>pom: ${pom}</echo>
<echo>settings: ${settings}</echo>
<echo>pom.groupId: ${pom.groupId}</echo>
<echo>pom.artifactId: ${pom.artifactId}</echo>
<echo>pom.packaging: ${pom.packaging}</echo>
<echo>pom.name: ${pom.name}</echo>
<echo>pom.description: ${pom.description}</echo>
<echo>pom.url: ${pom.url}</echo>
<echo>pom.mailingLists: ${pom.mailingLists}</echo>

<echo>project.build.sourceDirectory:

<echo>pom.build: ${project.build}</echo>
<echo>toedeloe: ${toedeloe}</echo>
<echo>user.language: ${user.language}</echo>
<echo>user.country: ${user.country}</echo>
<echo>!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!</echo>
