Difference in behaviour with preGoal or attainGoal

[Marco Tedone <mt...@jemos.org>]

Hi, I defined the following goal in my project-specific plugin:

<goal name="jemos:xdoclet-ejbdoclet" >

    <ejbdoclet...
     bla...bla...bla...
</goal>

I then defined in my project's maven.xml a simple goal:

<goal name="xdoclet-ejbdoclet">
  <attainGoal name="jemos:xdoclet-ejbdoclet" />
</goal>

If I run the following command from my project's root directory:

maven xdoclet-ejbdoclet

The ejbdoclet target defined in my plugin works fine, and the EJBs
interfaces get generated.

However, if I insert the following in my project's maven.xml:

<preGoal name="java:compile">
  <attainGoal name="xdoclet-ejbdoclet" />
</preGoal>

I obtain the following error:

BUILD FAILED
File...... file:/C:/Documents and
Settings/mtedone/.maven/plugins/maven-jemos-plugin-1.0/
Element... maven:reactor
Line...... 405
Column.... 30
Unable to obtain goal [driver] -- 
file:/D:/Projects/jemos-xmlop-1.0/src/:49:50: <attainGoal> No goal
[jemos:xdoclet
-ejbdoclet]
Total time: 5 seconds
Finished at: Tue Mar 16 23:28:46 GMT 2004

There is obviously a difference in behaviour. It would seem that when
inserted as a preGoal, my plugin is not considered.

Could anyone help?

Marco
