POM variables not expanded in resulting poms
I am trying to set the version of my projects using a property defined
on the maven command line. Please see below for examples.
The resulting .pom installed in the repository still contains the
reference to my variable 'productVersion'.
Should not the variable reference be expanded to its value?
Many thanks
Alessandro
[ sample command line option ]
mvn -DproductVersion=TEST install
[ sample pom ]

<artifactId>com.sungard.common.utils</artifactId>
<packaging>jar</packaging>
<version>${productVersion}</version>

Using properties inside the groupId:artifactId:version of a pom or a
parent declaration will cause lots of problems. This is part of the
identity of that artifact and it's not able to be validated. If it works
at all it is probably by accident as I'm fairly sure this is not
supported.

Subject: Re: POM variables not expanded in resulting poms
I noticed the very same thing and I also thought it was a bug because
the eclipse plugin is unable to use such poms (with unexpanded
variables) for artifact resolution. Running "mvn eclipse:eclipse" on a
project inheriting one of those artifacts gives the following error:
[WARNING] POM for
'myproject:com.mycompany.core:pom:0.21.0SNAPSHOT:compile' is invalid. It
will be ignored for artifact resolution. Reason: Failed to validate POM
for project ${myproject.groupId}:com.mycompany.core at Artifact
[myproject:com.mycompany.core:pom:0.21.0SNAPSHOT:compile]
Once this happens, one of the main advantages of maven is lost:
transitive dependencies. Is it a bug or an expected behavior ? Is there
something I'm missing here? Normally that variable should be resolved as
it is defined in one of the profiles defined in my settings.xml which is
always activated.

RE: Executing a hook before reading a POM
Posted by "Libby, Cynthia" <Cy...@intuit.com>.
As far as replacing variables, are you talking about being able to use
environment variables - something like this:
<property name="FLEX_HOME" value="${env.FLEX_HOME}"/>
Then use the property name throughout your pom.
Or am I completely missing your question?

Subject: Executing a hook before reading a POM
Hi to all,
I am trying to find out how I can get maven to execute a hook before it
reads the POM file. But it seems that unless you go in and modify the
maven source code, at a user level, there is nothing to be done. I am
trying to execute the hook since maven doesn't replace variables within
the POM. And I need this information to be statically available within
our internal repositories.
1. Is there a "smart" way to get maven to execute hooks?
2. Am I a little far fetched for trying to implement a hook to do
something that Ant could do to pre-process the POM file?
Thanks in advance,
Fernando

No, not really. Forget about all those recommendations to use properties for the version of the parent POM. This is not suppoerted and using properties for dependency versions is discouraged. Use a project (or company) wide POM to define the versions of your dependencies in a dependencyManagement section. Then you don't have to set any version for the deps in your POMs. To refer the global parent POM you might use simply "SNAPSHOT" as version for that. Each time you like to release the artifact, you will have to replace it with the latest release of the global POM. You may immediately return to SNAPSHOT after the release then or keep the version number of the released parent until you need a dependency with a newer version. With this approach all artifacts that refer the global POM as SNAPSHOT don't have to be changed if you have to release the global POM (using "SNAPSHOT" as the next development version).

Hello,
yes, you're right there - you could, as Cynthia mentioned, use ${env.parentversion} and pass the env variable on the command line or set it as an environment variable in the system.
What we do is use a shell script to update the versions every time we make a new release - I'll send it as attachment.

RE: Executing a hook before reading a POM
Posted by "Beelen, M. - SPLXL" <Ma...@klm.com>.
Hi,
The proper way around this is: Use the release-plugin.
When you execute mvn release:prepare and mvn release:perform all the version-number in the parent-element of all modules get updated automatically.
Within the pom of the child-modules you remove the version-tag of the project, since all child-modules will inherit the version for the parent in a multi-module-project.
With kind regards,
Marco Beelen

RE: Executing a hook before reading a POM
Posted by Bernhard David <da...@elca.ch>.
Hi,
what we do is declare all global constants (version numbers etc.) in one parent pom like this:
<properties>
<version.moudule-xxx>1.0</version.module-xxx>
</properties>
then in the modules' pom declare it (or a descendent of it) as <parent>. Then you can just write
<artifactId>module-xxx</artifactId>
<version>${version.module-xxx}</version>
in the actual module pom.
Maybe that will help solve your problem.

David

Re: Executing a hook before reading a POM
Posted by VUB Stefan Seidel <ss...@vub.de>.
Hi,
use
<properties>
<myProperty>myValue</myProperty>
</properties>
if you want to set fixed properties for the build process.
You may also want to have a look at how to use profiles.
regards,
Stefan

Executing a hook before reading a POM
Posted by fe...@nordea.com.
Hi to all,
I am trying to find out how I can get maven to execute a hook before it reads the POM file. But it seems that unless you go in and modify the maven source code, at a user level, there is nothing to be done. I am trying to execute the hook since maven doesn't replace variables within the POM. And I need this information to be statically available within our internal repositories.
1. Is there a "smart" way to get maven to execute hooks?
2. Am I a little far fetched for trying to implement a hook to do something that Ant could do to pre-process the POM file?
Thanks in advance,
Fernando

Re: POM variables not expanded in resulting poms
Posted by Salvador Diaz <sd...@m6.fr>.
I noticed the very same thing and I also thought it was a bug because
the eclipse plugin is unable to use such poms (with unexpanded
variables) for artifact resolution. Running "mvn eclipse:eclipse" on a
project inheriting one of those artifacts gives the following error:
[WARNING] POM for
'myproject:com.mycompany.core:pom:0.21.0SNAPSHOT:compile' is invalid. It
will be ignored for artifact resolution. Reason: Failed to validate POM
for project ${myproject.groupId}:com.mycompany.core at Artifact
[myproject:com.mycompany.core:pom:0.21.0SNAPSHOT:compile]
Once this happens, one of the main advantages of maven is lost:
transitive dependencies. Is it a bug or an expected behavior ? Is there
something I'm missing here? Normally that variable should be resolved as
it is defined in one of the profiles defined in my settings.xml which is
always activated.

RE: POM variables not expanded in resulting poms
Posted by "Brian E. Fox" <br...@reply.infinity.nu>.
The properties are not expanded when sent to the repository because if
they were then it would break inheritance when projects used that pom
from the repo. There would no longer be any properties for people to
inherit and override.

Subject: POM variables not expanded in resulting poms
I am trying to set the version of my projects using a property defined
on the maven command line. Please see below for examples.
The resulting .pom installed in the repository still contains the
reference to my variable 'productVersion'.
Should not the variable reference be expanded to its value?
Many thanks
Alessandro
