Custom lifecycles and getting parameters to them

[Brad Jarvinen <Br...@chordiant.com>]

Hi,

 

For sample purposes, I've defined a custom lifecycle as follows:

 

<lifecycles> 

  <lifecycle> 

    <id>project-archetypes-lifecycle</id> 

    <phases> 

      <phase> 

        <id>validate</id> 

        <executions> 

          <execution> 

            <goals> 

              <goal> 

                org.apache.maven.plugins:maven-archetype-plugin:generate


              </goal> 

            </goals> 

            <configuration> 

              <artifactId>fred</artifactId> 

              <groupId>bob</groupId> 

              <interactiveMode>false</interactiveMode> 

            </configuration> 

          </execution> 

        </executions> 

      </phase> 

    </phases> 

  </lifecycle> 

</lifecycles>

 

And in my Maven plug-in, I've included an annotation to execute the
lifecycle before my mojo executes:

 

* @execute lifecycle="project-archetypes-lifecycle" phase="validate"

 

 

But when I run my plug-in, I get the following error:

 

[WARNING] Property artifactId is missing. Add -DartifactId=someValue

 

It'll only work if I pass -DartifactId to my mojo from the command line.
It seems that configuration element in the lifecycle definition is
ignored for artifactId.  But yet, the interfaceMode=false seems to work.

 

Any ideas how I can pass variable data into the custom lifecycle
definition when I invoke it from another mojo?

 

Thanks,

Brad
