Reading a property from the settings.xml file inside a pom.xml file.
Hi
I'm trying to SIGN jar files using the sign goal with the maven JAR
plugin. To sign a jar file, you would use the following code in your
pom.xml file as an example:
<!-- Build Settings -->
<build>
<finalName>${artifactId}-${version}</finalName>
<plugins>
<plugin>
<groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId>
<artifactId>maven-jar-plugin</artifactId>
<executions>
<execution>
<goals>
<goal>sign</goal>
</goals>
</execution>
</executions>
<configuration>
<keystore>c:/key/systest.jks</keystore>
<alias>SomeAliasHere</alias>
<storepass>SomeStorePass</storepass>
</configuration>
</plugin>
</plugins>
</build>
Now, i want the keystore, the alias and the storepass settings read from
the settings.xml file instead of hardcoded in the pom.xml file by a name i
can give. I also need the option so that another artifact could use a
complete set of different settings in the settings.xml file. Is there
anywhere i can go to get an example of how this is done? Could someone
provide some example code here to get this going?
Thanks for the help in advance,

Hi Chris,
You can simply use properties in an activated profile of your settings.xml,
see
http://maven.apache.org/ref/current/maven-settings/settings.html#class_profile
Then properties are simply referenced in your pom as ${property name}.
That would be something like the following in your pom.xml:
<build>
<finalName>${artifactId}-${version}</finalName>
<plugins>
<plugin>
<groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId>
<artifactId>maven-jar-plugin</artifactId>
<executions>
<execution>
<goals>
<goal>sign</goal>
</goals>
</execution>
</executions>
<configuration>
<keystore>${keystore}</keystore>
<alias>SomeAliasHere</alias>
<storepass>SomeStorePass</storepass>
</configuration>
</plugin>
</plugins>
</build>
And you would have something like this in the activated profile of your
settings.xml:
<properties>
<keystore>c:/key/systest.jks</keystore>
</properties>
You can also define the property in your pom.xml and it would stand as the
default value.
Regarding different set of properties for different project, I would scope
the properties names such as "com.mycompany.myproject.keystore".
You could also use different profile, but to my opininon this is more
complicated to use and more likely to be of some problem if you ever need to
activate multiple profiles at the same time…
Hope this helps,
SaM
