What expressions are available for use in the mojos?
<jason> maybe i can generate doco from @tags in the expression evaluator or something
<jason> that's where it's localized right?
<jdcasey> um, sort of
<jdcasey> we have the roots there, but we're using the ReflectionValueExtractor from there
<jdcasey> it can easily get pretty ugly
<jason> i'll make a list of those
<jdcasey> I'm thinking of making a mapping resource for expressions, for use in the error diagnoser...maybe we can reuse that?
<jason> of the ones that are not referenced in the plugin expression evaluator where can i find them?
<jason> sure
<jason> a single place would be nice
<jdcasey> they're (a) listed in the expression evaluator, (b) available as POM properties, (c) available as system properties, or (d) available reflectively from the api rooted in one of the four or five data objects
<jdcasey> yup, I think we need that
note from andy
Jason,
Follow up to our irc chat about suggesting that windows m2 users move their
repos to a location without embedded spaces. I think it would be helpful to
people if we were to place a notification about this in a prominent place
on the M2 site and in the getting started guide. Parting of the marketing
chat could be "Windows M2 Users Prepare for surefire and Java compiler
forking by moving your M2 repository to a file system location that doesn't
contain embedded spaces!"
The default user.home on windows is c:\documents and settings\<username>\
The repo location can be changed in the settings.xml file located at
${user.home}/.m2/settings.xml
I've pasted an example of a trivial modified settings.xml file below.
