properties-maven-plugin: Error loading properties-file
- by yournamehere
I want to extract all the properties from my pom.xml into a properties-file. These are the common properties like dependency-versions, plugin-versions and directories.
I'm using the properties-maven-plugin, but its not working as i want it to.
The essential part of my pom.xml:
<plugin>
<groupId>org.codehaus.mojo</groupId>
<artifactId>properties-maven-plugin</artifactId>
<version>1.0-alpha-1</version>
<executions>
<execution>
<phase>initialize</phase>
<goals>
<goal>read-project-properties</goal>
</goals>
<configuration>
<files>
<file>${basedir}/pom.properties</file>
</files>
</configuration>
</execution>
</executions>
</plugin>
Now when i run "mvn properties:read-project-properties" i get the following error:
[INFO] One or more required plugin parameters are invalid/missing for 'properties:read-project-properties'
[0] Inside the definition for plugin 'properties-maven-plugin' specify the following:
<configuration>
...
<files>VALUE</files>
</configuration>.
The pom.properties-file is located in the same dir as the pom.xml.
What can i do to let the properties-maven-plugin read my properties-file?
