maven-dist-plugin/maven-multiproject-plugin

[Ibbeken Michael <Mi...@prosieben.de>]

hi everybody,

  i have been using maven here for quite some time now and find it a 
  valuable tool.

  currently, i am setting up a multiproject with quite some subproject,
  one of which is an ear subproject.

  as we have several remote repositories here and no cvs, we have
  built our own deploy plugin.

  when i try to run the multiproject with the following list of goals 'dist:build,deploy:custom'
  i happened to find out that the dist:build plugin always builds the jar:jar goal even though
  one subproject is supposed to produce an ear.

  i suggest that the dist plugin uses a plugin property to set that defines what goal is to run.


  the original code looks like this:

<snip>
  <goal name="dist:prepare-bin-filesystem" prereqs="xdoc:init, jar:jar, javadoc:generate" description="Builds the binary distribution file system."> 
</snip>


  while the suggested change would look like this

<snip>
  <goal
    name="dist:prepare-bin-filesystem"
    prereqs="xdoc:init, ${maven.multiproject.type}:${maven.multiproject.type}, javadoc:generate"
    description="Builds the binary distribution file system.">
</snip>


  any comments are welcome


thanx, michael
