I have a pom that works on windows, but does not work if I use it on Linux
because the paths are different, such as:
<dependency>
<groupId>com.toedter</groupId>
<artifactId>jcalendar</artifactId>
<version>1.2.2</version>
<scope>system</scope>
<systemPath>
C:/projects/java.3rdParty/jars/jcalendar-1.3.2.jar
</systemPath>
</dependency>
is there any way to use an environment variable for the start of the path or
some other solution?
on Linux the path would be
<systemPath>
/home/myname/workspace/java.3rdParty/jars/jcalendar-1.3.2.jar
</systemPath>
I asked on the eclipse maven list and got this advice:
> Andy,
> check out what it says on the maven website:
> systemPath : is used only if the dependency scope is system .
> Otherwise, the build will fail if this element is set. The path must be
> absolute, so it is recommended to use a property to specify the
> machine-specific path (more on properties below), such as
> $java.home/lib . ........
> http://maven.apache.org/pom.html#Properties
I tried doing this and am getting the following error (below)
Perhaps the settings.xml file is not getting processed correctly?
How can I debug if the environment variable I am setting is getting read in
correctly?
my settings.xml is /home/dingfelder/.m2/settings.xml and contains:
<settings>
<profiles>
<profile>
<id>default</id>
<activation>
<activeByDefault/>
</activation>
<properties>
<java-third-party.home>/home/dingfelder/workspace/java.3rdparty/jars/</java-third-party.home>
</properties>
</profile>
</profiles>
</settings>
the error is:
