How to add a plugin into pluginManagement section of the pom

[charless]

Hello,

Is there a way to add a created plugin into the pluginManagement section of the pom ?

Thanks,

Charles.

Hi Charles,

We don't have a Forge plugin that does that right away. We have opened an issue[1] about that.

Contributions are welcome !

[1] - https://issues.jboss.org/browse/FORGE-811

Hi,

I am finishing the implementation of the https://issues.jboss.org/browse/FORGE-842 that I have created.

which adds methods to the MavenPluginFacet in order to handle plugins by using the "pluginManagement" feature.

One question is left however (see the issue Comments): should we also implement some kind of method(s) to handle the "resolved" plugin;

by "resolved", I mean a plugin that is defined both in the pluginManagement section and in the plugin section: in that case, the plugin properties (version, configuration, ...) are inherited from the plugin definition of the pluginManagement section.

Thanks,

Charles.

Sorry Charles,

I didn't see this right away because I was on personal leave (and I only check Forge-dev when I am off duty )

It sounds like some sort of intelligent resolution is probably a good idea. Similar to what was done with Dependency and DependencyManagement sections in the MavenDependencyFacet and DependencyInstaller.

What do you think? Want to continue this on [e-mail]?
