[jira] Commented: (MANTRUN-40) Properties defined in pom do not propagate to the antrun environment

["Daniel Takai (JIRA)" <ji...@codehaus.org>]

    [ http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/MANTRUN-40?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=141946#action_141946 ] 

Daniel Takai commented on MANTRUN-40:
-------------------------------------

An easy solution would be to pass only  the "important" properties to the ant environment. This would keep you from digging into the wrong code and solve 99% of all problems.

See http://docs.codehaus.org/display/MAVENUSER/MavenPropertiesGuide

>             Project: Maven 2.x Antrun Plugin
>          Issue Type: Improvement
>    Affects Versions: 1.1
>            Reporter: Jason Dillon

> Properties defined in pom <properties> do not propagate to the antrun environment.
> For example:
> {code}
> <properties>
>     <my.property>foo</my.property>
> </properties>
> {code}
> Does *not* get propagate to Ant.  While properties defined within the pom will resolve, the properties are not available as an Ant property.  So from antrun:
> {code}
> <ant antfile="${pom.basedir}/src/ant/build.xml" dir="${pom.basedir}" inheritAll="true" inheritRefs="true" target="foo"/>
> {code}
> And then the Ant build.xml:
> {code}
> <project>
>     <target name="foo">
>         <echo>${my.property}</echo>
>     </target>
> <project>
> {code}
> The output will be:
> {noformat}
> [echo] ${my.property}
> {noformat}
> Instead of what it *should be*:
> {noformat}
> [echo] foo
> {noformat}
> The workaround is to delegate to a build.xml file with the ant task and redefine each property that is needed:
> {code}
> <ant antfile="${pom.basedir}/src/ant/build.xml" dir="${pom.basedir}" inheritAll="true" inheritRefs="true" target="foo">
>     <property name="my.property" value="${my.property}"/>
> </ant>
> {code}
