set-property-maven-plugin

Set project properties dynamically while building a maven project

This plugin intends to help out other plugins by defining project properties via build-time.

Add the following to your pom to use the plugin:

<pluginRepositories>
  <repository>
    <id>matzes-repo</id>
    <url>http://matzefratze123.de/artifactory/release</url>
  </repository>
</pluginRepositories>

The plugin only provides one goal: set-properties

This goal evaluates a condition and decides based on the configuration which properties need to be set.

Example configuration:

<plugin>
  <groupId>de.matzefratze123</groupId>
  <artifactId>set-property-maven-plugin</artifactId>
  <version>1.0.1</version>
    <executions>
      <execution>
        <id>execution-id</id>
        <!-- Default phase is 'validate' if not specified -->
        <phase>validate</phase>
        <goals>
          <goal>set-properties</goal>
        </goals>
        <configuration>
          <operations>
            <operation>
              <!-- This is the condition for which it compares the string with another string -->
              <!-- In this example it compares the pom's version and checks wether it's a snapshot or not -->
              <condition>
                <string>${project.version}</string>
                <operator>EQUALS_REGEX</operator>
                <operand>.*-SNAPSHOT</operand>
              </condition>
              <!-- Define properties to be set when the condition above is true -->
              <setpropertiestrue>
                <setproperty>
                  <property>deploy.url</property>
                  <value>http://example.com/snapshots</value>
                </setproperty>
              </setpropertiestrue>
              <!-- Define properties to be set when the condition above is false -->
              <setpropertiesfalse>
                <setproperty>
                  <property>deploy.url</property>
                  <value>http://example.com/releases</value>
                </setproperty>
              </setpropertiesfalse>
            </operation>
          </operations>
        </configuration>
      </execution>
    </executions>    
  </plugin>
