[jira] Updated: (MNG-3782) Variable substition not performed in transitive dependency using value from active profile

     [ http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/MNG-3782?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:all-tabpanel ]

Robert Varttinen updated MNG-3782:
----------------------------------

    Attachment: MavenCli.java

This is an altered version of MavenCli, it has a piece of code added to a section of the main(...) method. The "patch" passed the properties of an active profile to the system properties. Thus, in our case, we get a variable substitution performed accordingly. This can, however, also be performed by passing the properties in question using the '-D..' option on the command line. This might be a problem though when invoked from an automatic build tool.

> When invoking the 'mvn compile' command and a profile is active, defined in settings.xml, a variable substitution is not performed in a transitive dependency. 
> In the example provided the project to be built, C, depends on B which in its turn depends on A. The versions of B and A to be used are defined in a profile, the POM-files defines a variable indicating the versions. The profile in question is defined in the settings.xml and is always active (check with command 'mvn help:active-profiles'). The results of project A and B are successfully built and installed in the local repository. 
> Invoking a build for project C using a command line parameter indicating, 'mvn compile -Dparentversion=0.0.1-SNAPSHOT, the versions render a successful build. The transitive dependency is resolved correctly. 
> This problem is also visible in Eclipse, m2eclipse, as the project C in the example provided, does not build (error indication). The example provided includes Eclipse projects displaying this (version 0.9.7.20081001-2217 of the Eclipse plugin is used). 
> The settings.xml and a build log are provided as attachments to this issue.
