Using a Custom Lifecycle in a mojo and getting parameters to it
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

I would just write a standalone mojo and invoke maven in a forked
process as needed.

Another possibility is that I'm using the wrong tool for the job. So I should explain what I'm trying to do.
From my mojo, I'm trying to invoke other mojos and goals. My mojo invokes many "sub" goals, i.e.
- generate 4 projects with archetype:generate
- add some files to each of the projects
- change some pom.xml settings
A custom lifecycle seems to allow me to invoke the archetype:generate 4 times to create 4 projects. I then could invoke other goals to populate files into those projects. Would a custom archetype be better? Or would some other method I'm unaware of be better?
Any suggestions extremely welcome.

No hides have been chapped; this happens regularly. Usually it is a
mistake but sometimes (especially when the emails are spaced hours
apart, as yours were) it is someone who has a REALLY URGENT (to them)
PROBLEM that needs to be RESOLVED RIGHT NOW and that's simply not how
this list works.
You can always check if an email "got through" by checking Nabble.com,
Markmail.org, mail-archives.apache.org, www.mail-archive.com, etc.
I have almost zero experience with custom lifecycles at this point.
Hopefully someone else will reply with more useful information.

Sorry to have chapped some people's hides because of a single duplicate request; it was purely unintentional and a result of my company's overly exuberant spam filters preventing me from knowing the first post went through. Please don't let that prevent someone from responding with a greatly appreciated and more technically helpful response.

Its rude to send an email more than once to a list like this without
waiting a couple days in between. If/when someone has a response, they
will reply.
