Built-in goals and properties

["March, Andres" <am...@soe.sony.com>]

I cannot seem to find much documentation on which goals and properties
are built into maven.  Each plugin seems to have this in a logical place
at the top of their site but I really want to know what I can do without
the plugins.

 

One simple example is when I wanted to add the generated source
directory to the compile set.  The fact that there is a maven.build.src
is great for dealing with generated source separately.  But the other
properties used to represent the compile and test sets seem to be
missing.  There are some of these properties in the user guide but
obviously not all (like maven.compile.src.set).  And it seems there are
more goals available out-of-the-box than are shown by list in the maven
console.  

 

I understand this is OSS and documentation can be hard to come by.  I am
just asking where I can find that information.

There are very few properties available without plugins.

Things like compiling java code and running junit tests are done by
plugins, so those plugins provide their own properties for
customization.

I'm assuming you've found
http://maven.apache.org/reference/user-guide.html#Behavioural_Properties
?
