Plugin parameter for project class path?
I am writing a plugin which does post-processing on some classes compiled in the build, so I have defined a parameter that I would like Maven to fill in with the appropriate list of dependencies, but I am clearly misunderstanding how to do that. Here is what I have:
> @Parameter(defaultValue = "${project.compileClasspathElements}", readonly = true, required = true)
> private List<String> compileClasspathElements;
But when the plugin executes, that is being set to the directory in which compiled classes are places. (target/classes).
What is the correct way to do this, and how should I have figured it out?
Thanks,
Russ

That’s a big question :)
My problem was that I wasn’t sure what the parameters meant, and what the settings meant, and most especially, what the properties available in the build are. It’s a general problem with technical docs: when you develop a feature and want to describe it, it is hard to recall exactly what a user doesn’t know; consequently, most technical docs are essentially reference manuals for people who already know how to use the product and have forgotten some details. The best experience I had in creating docs for a product happened when a tech writer *interviewed* me, asking what the product did, and how to teach him to use it.
That kind of user documentation takes a fair bit of work, of course.

Did you specify the requiresDependencyResolution of the @Mojo?
