[jira] Commented: (MDEP-155) writing classpath into a file doesn't work anymore

["Brian Fox (JIRA)" <ji...@codehaus.org>]

    [ http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/MDEP-155?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel#action_127094 ] 

Brian Fox commented on MDEP-155:
--------------------------------

The docs are wrong, see here for the correct expression: http://maven.apache.org/plugins/maven-dependency-plugin/build-classpath-mojo.html#cpFile

mdep is just a prefix used to keep the dependency values from conflicting with other plugins. It is recommended that plugins do this, but most of them don't. You can always check the proper expression on the goal page like shown above.

>             Project: Maven 2.x Dependency Plugin
>          Issue Type: Bug
>          Components: build-classpath
>    Affects Versions: 2.0
>         Environment: Maven version: 2.0.8
> Java version: 1.5.0_13
> OS name: "mac os x" version: "10.4.11" arch: "i386" Family: "unix"
>            Reporter: Marc Guenther

> The following command from the Usage section (http://maven.apache.org/plugins/maven-dependency-plugin/usage.html) does not work anymore:
> mvn dependency:build-classpath -Dmaven.dep.cpFile=cp.txt
> It writes the classpath to the log, not to the specified file.
> This used to wirk in 2.0-alpha-4.
> Using outputFile doesn't work either.
> Another question: where does the "maven.dep." prefix come from? This isn't documented anywhere.
