[jira] Commented: (MNG-2046) External property file in command line
[ http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/MNG-2046?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=142977#action_142977 ]
cyberguide commented on MNG-2046:
---------------------------------
I understand that mvn tries to avoid having unresolvable content in the pom (property expressions that cannot be resolved out of context). However, I found myself in a situation where I need to forward a dynamically generated list of offlinelink parameters that I need to pass to the javadoc configuration in the pom. That is quite easily be done via property usage in the pom file and providing the property on the mvn command line is not big deal either. However, the issue comes when the list of offlinelinks grows in size so that command line gets too long. Simply cannot see how to pass in the property once the command line outgrows the os buffer. property file would be ideal for this situation.
Btw, tried to load the properties from an antrun plugin configuration, however, passing that to the javadoc configuration seems not possible by setting the property.
Any idea to solve this in a different way is welcome as well.

> It would be great to allow the option "-propertyfile" in the command line, like Ant does to load multi properties. For the moment, it's possible to do "'D", but for a single property.
