Access to the class path
Hi,
I need to be able to get access to the runtime class path
in my tests when invoked from the maven-surefire-plugin.
I can set system properties for the surefire plugin but I
can't find anyway that I can get access to the class path.
For example I want to do something like the following to
set some "runtime.classpath" system property (assuming maven
provided a "maven.runtime.classpath" property):
<plugin>
<artifactId>maven-surefire-plugin</artifactId>
<configuration>
<forkMode>always</forkMode>
<systemProperties>
<property>
<name>runtime.classpath</name>
<value>${maven.runtime.classpath}</value>
</property>
</systemProperties>
</configuration>
<executions>
...
</executions>
</plugin>
I can see that when running ant tasks the antrun plugin
provides access to this type of information but I can't
find anywhere where it is possible to get access to this
information in a general way within Maven without writing
my own plugin.
Can anyone tell me whether it is possible to do what I
want?
Thanks,
James.

No, that would be a bug.

We are currently on Maven 2.0.4 so I can't even build the latest
source.
If I get time I will produce a patch when we finally upgrade to
a more recent version of aven.

One thing I noticed is that the classpath seems to be sorted
alphabetically when using the dependency:build-classpath goal
and thus differs from the project.getClasspathElements() call
which is what I would have expected the results to look like.
Is there a reason for this?
Cheers,
James.

Yeah, someone else was looking for this too. If you supply a patch, i'll
integrate it.

Probably not the best idea as I've been up straight waaaay too long, but
it should take you 15 minutes to change the source so that an env
property is stored.

I did look at dependency:build-classpath but I could only
see how it outputs the class path to a file.
>>From the web page:
"This goal will output a classpath string of dependencies
from the local repository to a file or log."
Is there anyway to get access to it as a property?
I guess I could always write it out to a file and then read
it from the file in my tests but it seems a convoluted...
Cheers,
James.

take a look at dependency:build-classpath
