Property substitution based on dependencies

[Owen Jacobson <an...@gmail.com>]

Salue.

I have a project that builds a JAR file and needs to package a config
file in the resulting JAR.  The config file is an XML file that
contains some information that should be based on the JAR's
dependencies.  Right now that information is hard-coded and has to be
updated by hand whenever I change the dependencies, which sucks.

I'd like to use resource filtering to automatically place either the
dependency version number or the complete dependency name (or
filename) in the config file.

Here's the relevant section of my POM:

  <dependencies>
    <dependency>
      <groupId>foo</groupId>
      <artifactId>foo-server</artifactId>
      <scope>provided</scope>
      <version>4.13</version>
      <type>ejb</type>
    </dependency>
  </dependencies>

  <build>
    <resources>
      <resource>
        <directory>src/main/resources</directory>
        <filtering>true</filtering>
      </resource>
    </resources>
  </build>

There are no explicit properties defined anywhere in the POM or in settings.xml.

Here's the configuration file segment that I'd like to change:

    <depends>
      jboss.j2ee:module=foo-server-4.13.jar,service=EjbModule
    </depends>

Is there any existing property created by maven automatically that
expands to any of

4.13 (the version of the foo:foo-server:4.13:ejb dependency)
foo-server-4.13 (the dependency's base name)
foo-server-4.13.jar (the dependency's filename, with no path info)

?

Hi, I have exactly the same requirement as the original email.

I have a file, persistence.xml, that references a dependency version that is
listed in the project pom. I would like to be able to do something like
this:

persistence.xml
--------------
...
<jar-file>../lib/my-artifact-id-${project.dependencies["com.mycompany.blah:my-artifact-id"].version}.jar</jar-file>
...

and have it filtered by maven.

If this is not already possible, then I would be interested in providing a
patch, if any maven devs thought it was a good idea??

cheers,
Craig
