OpenJPA maven plugin configuration

[Jim Talbut <jt...@spudsoft.co.uk>]

Hi,

Whenever the openjpa-maven-plugin (v1.2 or v1.1) runs it initialises 
logback (which is a dependency of my project, it's not explicitly 
mentioned by the plugin configuration), which finds the logback.xml 
file, but not the logback-test.xml file.
The logback.xml file has configuration that is only relevant to a live 
installation, and as a result it causes unwanted files to be created in 
my source tree.

In order to stop logback doing this I need to be able to either specify 
a custom system property when openjpa-maven-plugin runs, or add the test 
resource path to the classpath so that logback finds logback-test.xml.

I can't find any way to do either of these things, is either possible?
If not, could one of them be added to the next version?

Thanks

Jim

Hi Jim!

I know it's a bit of a hack, but the openjpa-maven-plugin uses the compile classpath of your project. So I'd say it's not really a 'bug'.

You should be able to prevent this side effect by adding a <dependency> to your <plugin> section which contains such a logback-test.xml file with your test logging configuration.
