Question on accessing user-defined properties in maven.xml

[Qian Su <qs...@cj.com>]

Hi,

 

I declared a property of my own in project.properties file, but failed
to access the value of this property in maven.xml.  Below is my sample
code in project.properties and maven.xml:

 

(project.properties)

hibernate.doclet.generate=true

 

(maven.xml)

<j:if test="${systemScope['hibernate.doclet.generate'] == 'true'}">

            ...

</j:if>

 

It seems that the property set in project.properties is not visible in
maven.xml, however, if I run maven with
-Dhibernate.doclet.generate=true, then the 'if' statement does evaluate
to true.  I tried to look for online resources to see how to access
user-defined properties in maven.xml but failed.  I would really
appreciate any help here since it is a very commonly desired feature.

 

Qian

try using ${context.getVariable('hibernate.doclet.generate') == 'true'} instead
