You can pass the properties by defining new Ant properties (using the property
tag in your target
within the configuration
). So for example:
<project xmlns="http://maven.apache.org/POM/4.0.0"
xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"
xsi:schemaLocation="http://maven.apache.org/POM/4.0.0
http://maven.apache.org/maven-v4_0_0.xsd">
<modelVersion>4.0.0</modelVersion>
<groupId>com.test</groupId>
<artifactId>test-module</artifactId>
<name>test-module</name>
<version>SNAPSHOT</version>
<properties>
<my.custom.property>false</my.custom.property>
</properties>
<profiles>
<profile>
<id>customProfile</id>
<properties>
<my.custom.property>true</my.custom.property>
</properties>
</profile>
</profiles>
<build>
<plugins>
<plugin>
<groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId>
<artifactId>maven-antrun-plugin</artifactId>
<version>1.7</version>
<executions>
<execution>
<id>compile</id>
<phase>compile</phase>
<configuration>
<target>
<property name="antProperty" value="${my.custom.property}"/>
<echo message="Custom Ant Property is: ${antProperty}"/>
<echoproperties />
</target>
</configuration>
<goals>
<goal>run</goal>
</goals>
</execution>
</executions>
</plugin>
</plugins>
</build>
</project>
When I execute mvn compile
on this pom the output is:
main:
[echo] Custom Ant Property is: false
[echoproperties] #Ant properties
[echoproperties] #Thu Aug 08 17:17:30 CEST 2013
[echoproperties] ant.project.name=maven-antrun-
[echoproperties] ant.version=Apache Ant(TM) version 1.8.2 compiled on December 20 2010
[echoproperties] antProperty=false
and when the command is mvn -PcustomProfile compile
then the output is:
main:
[echo] Custom Ant Property is: true
[echoproperties] #Ant properties
[echoproperties] #Thu Aug 08 17:18:30 CEST 2013
[echoproperties] ant.project.name=maven-antrun-
[echoproperties] ant.version=Apache Ant(TM) version 1.8.2 compiled on December 20 2010
[echoproperties] antProperty=true
This works using maven 3.0.5.
