Same plugin, different phases

[Gajo Csaba]

Hello,

I use the exec plugin, and I need to pass it different parameters based
on the target I define. So for example, if I write mvn test, then exec
should forward one set of arguements to the command it executes, and if
I write mvn compile, then it sends another arguement. How to do this?

I though about writing the <plugin> definition twice, one with <phase>
test, and another with compile, and writing two different
<configuraiton>s, but this didn't work, only the first config is
executed in both cases.

Is there a way to do this or I need to write my own plugin?

Thanks, Csaba

Most likely you've put the configuration element wrong. It should be inside
the execution section.

If I put the configuration element inside the execution element, I get
an error saying that it needs to be inside the plugin element. This is
what I've tried:

  <build>
    <plugins>
      <plugin>
        <groupId>org.codehaus.mojo</groupId>
        <artifactId>exec-maven-plugin</artifactId>
        <version>1.1</version>
        <executions>
          <execution>
                <phase>test</phase>
            <goals>
              <goal>exec</goal>
            </goals>
            <configuration>
              <executable>echo</executable>
              <workingDirectory>/home/cgajo/tmp/protest</workingDirectory>
              <arguments>
                 <argument>"aaa"</argument>
                 <argument>></argument>
                 <argument>out.txt</argument>
              </arguments>
            </configuration>
          </execution>
        </executions>
      </plugin>
    </plugins>
  </build>

You cannot define the same plugin twice.

You have to define multiple executions with own configurations.

Ah ok, got it to work. Looks like I needed to define a global execution
as well
