Setting custom varaibles
I'm need to use custom variables in maven. Here's what I do:
Run the "ls" command in the current directory. For each directory listed, I
want to add the name in pom.xml's <sourceDirectory> $DirectoryName
</sourceDirectory>property and run mvn. If there's a way to set name / value
pairs during mvn invocation, that would be best. If not, what's the best way
to do this?

Here is a simple way to do that :
1 - You can set any property directly into the Maven command line :
mvn sonar:sonar -DsrcDirectory=/vol/myProject/src -DbinDirectory=...
2- You can retrieve those values into your pom.xml file :
<sourceDirectory>${srcDirectory}</sourceDirectory>
<outputDirectory>${binDirectory}</outputDirectory>

Ah! No I can't. That's our default build env! I can't decide! :)
Any other ideas to get this working?

Pull the trigger - modularize and move completely to maven 2.

Re: Setting custom varaibles
Posted by swaroopgr <sw...@netapp.com>.
Here's why:
I'm setting up sonar - a tool for code quality analysis. The way sonar is
run is:
"mvn sonar:sonar"
I'm using ANT to build my project. However, sonar requires a dummy pom.xml
file to trick it into saying it's a maven project. Then, Sonar will go and
descend into all the directories and complete static code analysis.
In my case, I need only specific directories to be analysed by Sonar. Hence,
I simply list these directories and feed it into the pom.xml file's
<sourceDirectory> property. This will allow sonar to analyse only those
modules.
Hence, I somehow need to figure out how I can feed these files one by one
into pom.xml and call mvn each time.

Hi,
First question: why do you need to do this?
Maven defines strong conventions principles over config. So doing what you
say seems quite uncommon. So you've got three solutions:
* if the project can be cleanly refactored to be built, with clear deps and
so on => the way to go
* if those source directories comes from a special process (say generation),
then maybe the way to go is more writing a maven plugin that will do what
you need cleanly (writing a maven plugin is very simple). To help answer
this question, I guess you'll have to explain your need a bit more.
* combine ant-run plugin/buildhelper should help do the trick, but this
would be like using ant to compile when developing under eclipse
Cheers

If your build requires this, you are better off sticking with Ant or
whatever build tool you've been using until now.
