file exists activation
I'm a new to maven. I've recently tried unsuccessfully to get
<activation><file><exists> to work unless the absolute file path was given.
I'm running on windows XP, with netbeans IDE 6.8 supposedly using maven
3.0-SNAPSHOT.
I've tried:
<exists>C:/Documents and Settings/xname/My
Documents/maven/mrt/storage/store-conf/mrt.local.properties</exists> ---
works
<exists>${basedir}/mrt.local.properties</exists> --- does NOT work
<exists>./mrt.local.properties</exists> --- does NOT work
<exists>mrt.local.properties</exists> --- does NOT work
Any suggestions for getting <activation><file><exists> to work without
using an absolute filepath.
Thanks
David

I finally got back to this problem and resolved it. The version of maven sent
with NetBeans-6.8 (maven 3.0-SNAPSHOT) was bad.
After explicitly downloading apache-maven-3.0.2 all of the problems
described earlier have been resolved for both Windows XP and Linux Debian. I
am not aware what version of maven is now included in the most recent
releases of NetBeans.
My thanks to the people replying on this issue.

In our poms we have things like:
<profile>
<id>process-docbook</id>
<activation>
<file><exists>src/docbook</exists></file>
</activation>
... etc
which runs if the project containing the POM has a src/docbook subdirectory.
We're using Maven 3.0 (not snapshot). This snippet is in a shared parent pom.
Since it works for us and not for you, I'm guessing there's some small detail
that's different, but I don't know what it might be.
Perhaps you could post some small "test case" scenario for others to try and see
what's going wrong?

Re: file exists activation

I tried both approaches:
C:/Documents and Settings/xname/My
Documents/maven/mrt/storage/pom.xml
This project uses <modules> on child projects and no activation would work
for <file> except <missing> and locally set properties were not recognized.
After spotting #MNG-2363 I figured that the earlier bug was not fixed.
I then used profile in the child project:
C:/Documents and Settings/xname/My
Documents/maven/mrt/storage/store-conf/pom.xml
Things are a bit better at least <exists> works with an explicit full path
but not using ${basedir} or any relative path I could find. I should note
that <exists>${basedir}</exists> does NOT work - I did further testing and
dumped ${basedir} within the profile using maven-antrun-plugin and the
variable is set but not being recognized in the activation.
ANY suggestion would be appreciated. At this point I'm forced to move back
to ant for my specialized handling.
Thanks

where is your pom.xml?
C:/Documents and Settings/xname/My Documents/maven/mrt/storage ?
