[jira] Updated: (MNG-4456) Deprecate fully qualified pathnames in
system path
[ http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/MNG-4456?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:all-tabpanel ]
Benjamin Bentmann updated MNG-4456:
-----------------------------------
Affects Version/s: 2.2.1
> Deprecate fully qualified pathnames in system path
> --------------------------------------------------
>
> Key: MNG-4456
> URL: http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/MNG-4456
> Project: Maven 2
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Affects Versions: 2.2.1
> Environment: Any.
> Reporter: Jim Showalter
> Priority: Minor
>
> You could output a deprecation warning whenever a fully qualified path is specified, but not warn if the path starts with a variable.
> For example, this would generate no warning:
> <dependency>
> <groupId>com.sun</groupId>
> <artifactId>tools</artifactId>
> <version>1.6.0</version>
> <scope>system</scope>
> <systemPath>${java.home}/../lib/tools.jar</systemPath>
> </dependency>
> but this would:
> <dependency>
> <groupId>yuck</groupId>
> <artifactId>ugh</artifactId>
> <version>4.2.8</version>
> <scope>system</scope>
> <systemPath>C:/dumb/way/to/set/up/maven/dependency</systemPath>
> </dependency>
> That way at least users are warned when they're doing something dumb, and if they change to the variable-based form, they stand a fighting chance of having portable builds.
