setting plugin properties in maven.xml

[An...@nokia.com]

Hi,

I've asked this question already last week, but apparently could not express it so clearly that the problem was understood.

The problem is, that we have one directory, in which the sources for an ejb jar are. With these sources, for different ejb-jars must be created. all four ejb-jars will have the same sources, only different deployment descriptors.

The ejb-plugin expects the ejb-jar.xml to be in the directory ${maven.ejb.src}. But when I set this property in the project.properties, I cannot change that anymore. So I tried setting this in the maven.xml, just before the ejb:install goal is called.

>From what I've understood from the documentation, I need to set this property in the context of the plugin, which is different from the context, in which maven.xml is executed.

So i tried that:

      <j:set var="dummy" value="${pom.getPluginContext('maven-ejb-plugin').setVariable('maven.ejb.src', '${basedir}/src/deployment/ejb/jvt/')}" />
      <m:reactor basedir="${basedir}"
                 includes="ri/jvtproject.xml"
                 goals="ejb:install"
                 banner="Building"
                 ignoreFailures="false" />


which gives the error:
Unable to obtain goal [ejb:ejb] -- file:/C:/Documents and Settings/xxx/.maven/plugins/maven-ejb-plugin-1.1/:49:34: <ant:jar> C:\USERS\xxx\workspace\ossj\ip_billing\ri\src\ejb not found.

which is not surprising, since the ejb-jar is in C:\USERS\xxx\workspace\ossj\ip_billing\ri\src\deployment\ejb\jvt

Could you please let me know, how this is supposed to work? Thanks a lot.
