The configuration should look like (assuming that your definition of parameter directory is actually specified as "private String directory"):
<options> <option> <directory>/a/b/c</directory> </option> <option> <directory>/d/e/f</directory> </option> </options> I don't think that the expressions and default values available in the Mojo are available in the classes used in this manner. A workaround might be to place variables which require an expression as a parameter in the Mojo itself and have a way to propagate it to the sub-objects. -----Original Message----- From: Richard Allen [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Monday, November 14, 2005 14:59 To: users@maven.apache.org Subject: [m2] How to inject values into a bean within a collection definedas a plugin parameter? I have an array (same question applies to Java Collections) that is defined as a parameter of a Mojo: public class MyMojo extends AbstractMojo { ... /** * @parameter * @required */ private Options[] optionsArray; ... } and within the Options bean, I would like to inject properties from Maven: public class Options { ... /** * @parameter expression="${project.build.directory}" */ private directory; ... } such that the plugin can be configured like: <plugin> ... <executions> <execution> ... <configuration> <optionsArray> <options> ... </options> <options> ... </options> </compilations> </configuration> ... </execution> </executions> </plugin> Is there a way to make this happen? It seems like I should be able to do this since Maven is creating and populating the bean classes (Options class).
