Affecting configuration of a sibling POM
Hi,
I have a case where a sibling POM (both POMs have the same parent) needs to
have a different configuration plugin for the maven-war plugin.
Specifically, I need to put the <attachClasses>true</attachClasses> element
into the configuration. The problem is that I cannot override or modify
this POM. Other acceptable solutions would be to build this particular
project with a command-line property or through some kind of aggregated
POM, as long as I can specify the option without modifying this POM itself.
I've scoured the internet for a solution and the only thing I've really
found is passing a property in via command line. But this apparently only
works for properties which have an expression defined. attachClasses does
not have this.

It is a very specific case, yes. And technically I can change it if I
really need to. It's an open source project which we are trying to avoid
making changes to the upstream version in this particular case, because it
doesn't need to be a jar file for the mainline. We just want to override it
internally. In the end it's probably just going to be a local patch that we
keep on our own branch.
Thanks for the help.

This sounds weird that you cant change the pom which is a sibling of yours,
and I dont want to get into that ...
any way, you are stuck, unless you get permission to make that setting
configurable

Re: Affecting configuration of a sibling POM

Hi,
That's not it. The only POM I can modify in this situation is my own POM,
which needs to have a dependency on this sibling POM. The problem is that
the sibling POM only generates a .war file, which can't be used as a
dependency. Changing attachClasses to true would fix this of course, but I
can't modify the POM directly. I can however, change the command I use to
build this sibling project, or change anything in my own POM.
The structure is thus:
Parent
--- Sibling that generates .war files
--- My project
I want to make the sibling attach some classes, so I can use it as a
dependency in my own project.

So both projects have attachClasses=true set, and you want to change one of
that config at command line?
