The iterator-maven-plugin will inject the current value as a property which means you can use this property to parameterize your build. First let us take a view on an example project:
. ├── pom.xml └── src ├── main │ ├── assembly │ │ └── archive.xml │ ├── environment │ │ ├── dev │ │ │ └── server.properties │ │ ├── production │ │ │ └── server.properties │ │ ├── qa │ │ │ └── server.properties │ │ └── test │ │ └── server.properties │ ├── java │ │ └── ... └── test └── java └── ...
The next step is to look at the pom.xml file which will define the iteration over the values dev, production, qa, test which is defined by:
55 56 57 58 59 60 61 62 63 64 65 66 67 68 69 70 71 72 73 74 75 76 77 78 79 80 81 82 83 84 85 86 87 88 89 90 91 | <plugin> <groupId>com.soebes.maven.plugins</groupId> <artifactId>iterator-maven-plugin</artifactId> <version>0.5.1</version> <executions> <execution> <phase>package</phase> <goals> <goal>iterator</goal> </goals> <configuration> <items> <item>dev</item> <item>test</item> <item>production</item> <item>qa</item> </items> <pluginExecutors> <pluginExecutor> <plugin> <groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId> <artifactId>maven-assembly-plugin</artifactId> <version>2.5.2</version> </plugin> <goal>single</goal> <configuration> <descriptors> <descriptor>${project.basedir}/src/assembly/archive.xml</descriptor> </descriptors> </configuration> </pluginExecutor> </pluginExecutors> </configuration> </execution> </executions></plugin> |
During the execution the values for item will be injected as property in the maven model which means they can be accessed by the usual property usage like ${item}. This is done in the assembly descriptor to fulfill the needs in this case.
