maven configuration with multiple parents

Hello,

I have a setup with 2 parent poms, one being the parent of the other.
I'm not able to run a plugin configuration (the configuration is not found)
from command line if it's defined in the (first level) parent pom.
But it does work if the configuration is defined in the "grandparent" pom.

Is it a bug, or designed to be like that?
If it's designed to be like that, am I missing something to get the
configuration defined in my parent pom to be recognized?

Here is a sample project to reproduce
https://github.com/guillaumecle/maven-configuration-test (test-cli-parent
has the configuration for exec:exec but it's not found)

mvn exec:exec

Thank you,

Re: maven configuration with multiple parents

Posted by Martin Kanters <ma...@apache.org>.
I'll have to correct myself on the following:

--> We are planning to implement a solution which would make the following
possible from root:
--> `mvn -pl :module1 -am exec:exec`. This would enable a maven invocation
from root, run exec:exec only for module1 and build all the needed
submodules (parent and grandparent).
--> I think it would be nice to also include your scenario: mvn -pl
:module1,:parent -am exec:exec. This would run exec:exec in all modules,
except for the grandparent module.

`-am` currently invokes the same build (phase/goal/plugin) as is invoked on
the cli (so exec:exec in your case). This will not change with the planned
implementation.
We did discuss this use-case, but it turns out more work needs to be done
to achieve this.

One other thing that might come of help to you is (from root): `mvn -pl
!:grandparent exec:exec`. It is a bit easier than having to select two
modules.
Of course this only holds if only one module would have to be skipped...
otherwise the noop sounds better.

Regards,
Martin

Re: maven configuration with multiple parents

Posted by Martin Kanters <ma...@apache.org>.
Hey Clément,

This is a problem, and a limitation, in Maven currently. A related JIRA
issue is MNG-6118 [1].
Here the scenario is using a different plugin invocation (jetty:run), which
also only makes sense for usually one module in a multi-module project.

The current solution indeed is to navigate into the submodule and run
maven there, but then it will only build that specific module.

We are planning to implement a solution which would make the following
possible from root:
`mvn -pl :module1 -am exec:exec`. This would enable a maven invocation from
root, run exec:exec only for module1 and build all the needed submodules
(parent and grandparent).
I think it would be nice to also include your scenario: mvn -pl
:module1,:parent -am exec:exec. This would run exec:exec in all modules,
except for the grandparent module.

That said, your first bullet point would work currently, and would give you
the cleanest cli invocation (no need for -pl and -am).
I don't think your last bullet point is possible, at least I have not seen
this yet.

Regards,
Martin

Re: maven configuration with multiple parents

Posted by Clément Guillaume <cl...@guillaume.bzh>.
Hi again,

Thank you for the responses. I think I figured my problem.
Running the plugin on a specific module (changing work directory or using
-pl) was always working fine.
What I was trying to do was to run it for every module at once from the
parent directory.
And when defining the configuration in the parent, module1 and parent were
fine but obviously grandparent didn't know about it and exec:exec would
fail. In addition grandparent is the first to run and its failure hides the
potential success of parent and module1.

Now I'll try to find a way around this.
- Maybe defining a no-op exec:exec configuration in the grandparent.
- Could I do something like running a specific execution id and
skipping projects that don't have this execution id defined?

Re: maven configuration with multiple parents

Posted by Anders Hammar <an...@hammar.net>.
Also, what version of Maven is used? I think there was something related to
relative path for parent fixed in some version.

Re: maven configuration with multiple parents

Posted by Martin Kanters <ma...@apache.org>.
You are right! My bad, I haven't used pluginManagement that much.
I verified that `mvn exec:exec` in the module1 child project works with the
example project that Clément gave (including the pluginManagement change).

I also verified that if you put the pluginManagement part in the
"grandparent", it still works.
It is quite an unusual setup I think to include "grandparent" pom as a
submodule to the root pom (or "parent" pom in this case), but somehow it's
valid.

Clément, as you are saying that your test project didn't work for you, are
you executing `mvn exec:exec` or something different?

Martin

I'm fairly sure this is not required. The build/plugins section is for
binding to the build lifecycle, but when you execute a mojo directly (like
maven exec:exec) the build lifecycle is not executed. I like to view this
as there are actually two ways of using Maven:
1) As a build tool. You execute the build lifecycle, like "mvn verify".
2) As a utility tool. You then execute a specific mojo, that could do
pretty much anything. Like "mvn exec:exec".

Thinking harder about this specific scenario (which I don't really
understand though, why two parents in the same build?), I believe that the
problem could be that the build lifecycle is not executed. Thus, there is
no reactor and then the grand-parent might be retrieved from the local repo
instead of from the subfolder (if you execute from the root folder). I.e.
the relative path specified doesn't work. Just guessing here...

What you could do is inspect the effective pom ("mvn help:effective-pom")
and verify that the maven-exec-plugin configuration exists (in the
pluginManagement section).

Re: maven configuration with multiple parents

Posted by Martin Kanters <ma...@apache.org>.
Hi Clément,

The <pluginManagement> section, much like the <dependencyManagement>
section, is a place where you can define "blueprints". The child POMs can
then activate this plugin by adding the plugin normally, with limited
configuration.
In your example your parent pom (/pom.xml) is great. To activate it you
would have to add this in /module1/pom.xml:

<build>
  <plugins>
    <plugin>
      <groupId>org.codehaus.mojo</groupId>
      <artifactId>exec-maven-plugin</artifactId>
    </plugin>
  </plugins>
</build>

Then, when executing the command mvn exec:exec in the /module1/ directory,
you will see:
[INFO] --- exec-maven-plugin:3.0.0:exec (default-cli) @ test-cli-module1 ---
hello world jar

It would also work if you put this pluginManagement section in your
"grand-parent" pom.

Hope that helps,
Martin

Re: maven configuration with multiple parents

Posted by Anders Hammar <an...@hammar.net>.
If you want to be able to execute the plugin from commandline (like "mvn
exec:exec) and use the plugin config from the pom, the configuration needs
to be in the pluginManagement section. Change that and it should work
regardless if it's in the parent or the "grand-parent".
