maven笔记:maven属性大全

You can use Maven properties in a pom.xml file or in any resource that is being processed by the Maven Resource plugin’s filtering features. A property is always surrounded by ${ and }. For example, to reference the project.version property, one would write:

1.0

There are some implicit properties available in any Maven project, these implicit properties are:

project.*
Maven Project Object Model (POM). You can use the project.* prefix to reference values in a Maven POM.
settings.*
Maven Settings. You use the settings.* prefix to reference values from your Maven Settings in ~/.m2/settings.xml.
env.*
Environment variables like PATH and M2_HOME can be referenced using the env.* prefix.
System Properties
Any property which can be retrieved from the System.getProperty() method can be referenced as a Maven property.

In addition to the implicit properties listed above, a Maven POM, Maven Settings, or a Maven Profile can define a set of arbitrary, user-defined properties. The following sections provide some detail on the various properties available in a Maven project.

9.2.1. Maven Project Properties

When a Maven Project Property is referenced, the property name is referencing a property of the Maven Project Object Model (POM). Specifically, you are referencing a property of the org.apache.maven.model.Model class which is being exposed as the implicit variable project. When you reference a property using this implicit variable, you are using simple dot notation to reference a bean property of the Model object. For example, when you reference ${project.version}, you are really invoking the getVersion() method on the instance of Model that is being exposed as project.

The POM is also represented in the pom.xml document present in all Maven projects. Anything in a Maven POM can be referenced with a property. A complete reference for the POM structure is available at http://maven.apache.org/ref/3.0.3/maven-model/maven.html. The following list shows some common property references from the Maven project.

project.groupId and project.version
Projects in a large, multi-module build often share the same groupId and version identifiers. When you are declaring interdependencies between two modules which share the same groupId and version, it is a good idea to use a property reference for both:
<dependencies>
    <dependency>
        <groupId>${project.groupId}</groupId>
        <artifactId>sibling-project</artifactId>
        <version>${project.version}</version>
    </dependency>
</dependencies>
project.artifactId
A project’s artifactId is often used as the name of a deliverable. For example, in a project with WAR packaging, you will want to generate a WAR file without the version identifiers. To do this, you would reference the project.artifactId in your POM file like this:
<build>
    <finalName>${project.artifactId}</finalName>
</build>
project.name and project.description
The name and project description can often be useful properties to reference from documentation. Instead of having to worry that all of your site documents maintain the same short descriptions, you can just reference these properties.
project.build.*

If you are ever trying to reference output directories in Maven, you should never use a literal value like target/classes. Instead you should use property references to refer to these directories.

  • project.build.sourceDirectory
  • project.build.scriptSourceDirectory
  • project.build.testSourceDirectory
  • project.build.outputDirectory
  • project.build.testOutputDirectory
  • project.build.directory

sourceDirectory, scriptSourceDirectory, and testSourceDirectory provide access to the source directories for the project. outputDirectory and testOutputDirectory provide access to the directories where Maven is going to put bytecode or other build output. directory refers to the directory which contains all of these output directories.

project.baseUri
If you need a valid URI for your project’s base directory, you can use the ${project.baseUri} property. If your project is stored in the directory /tmp/simple, ${project.baseUri} will resolve to file:/private/tmp/simple/.
Other Project Property references
There are hundreds of properties to reference in a POM. A complete reference for the POM structure is available at http://maven.apache.org/ref/3.0.3/maven-model/maven.html.

For a full list of properties available on the Maven Model object, take a look at the JavaDoc for the maven-model project here http://maven.apache.org/ref/3.0.3/maven-model/apidocs/index.html. Once you load this JavaDoc, take a look at the Model class. From this Model class JavaDoc, you should be able to navigate to the POM property you wish to reference. If you needed to reference the output directory of the build, you can use the Maven Model JavaDoc to see that the output directory is referenced via model.getBuild().getOutputDirectory(); this method call would be translated to the Maven property reference ${project.build.outputDirectory}.

For more information about the Maven Model module, the module which defines the structure of the POM, see the Maven Model project page at http://maven.apache.org/ref/3.0.3/maven-model.

9.2.2. Maven Settings Properties

You can also reference any properties in the Maven Local Settings file which is usually stored in ~/.m2/settings.xml. This file contains user-specific configuration such as the location of the local repository and any servers, profiles, and mirrors configured by a specific user.

A full reference for the Local Settings file and corresponding properties is available here http://maven.apache.org/ref/3.0.3/maven-settings/settings.html.

9.2.3. Environment Variable Properties

Environment variables can be referenced with the env.* prefix. Some interesting environment variables are listed in the following list:

env.PATH
Contains the current PATH in which Maven is running. The PATH contains a list of directories used to locate executable scripts and programs.
env.HOME
(On *nix systems) this variable points to a user’s home directory. Instead of referencing this, you should use the ${user.home}
env.JAVA_HOME
Contains the Java installation directory. This can point to either a Java Development Kit (JDK) installation or a Java Runtime Environment (JRE). Instead of using this, you should consider referencing the ${java.home} property.
env.M2_HOME
Contains the Maven 2 installation directory.

While they are available, you should always use the Java System properties if you have the choice. If you need a user’s home directory use ${user.home} instead of ${env.HOME}. If you do this, you’ll end up with a more portable build that is more likely to adhere to the Write-Once-Run-Anywhere (WORA) promise of the Java platform.

9.2.4. Java System Properties

Maven exposes all properties from java.lang.System. Anything you can retrieve from System.getProperty() you can reference in a Maven property. The following table lists available properties:

Table 9.1. Java System Properties

9.2.5. User-defined Properties

In addition to the implicit properties provided by the POM, Maven Settings, environment variables, and the Java System properties, you have the ability to define your own arbitrary properties. Properties can be defined in a POM or in a Profile. The properties set in a POM or in a Maven Profile can be referenced just like any other property available throughout Maven. User-defined properties can be referenced in a POM, or they can be used to filter resources via the Maven Resource plugin. Here’s an example of defining some arbitrary properties in a Maven POM.

User-defined Properties in a POM. 

<project>
    ...
    <properties>
        <arbitrary.property.a>This is some text</arbitrary.property.a>
        <hibernate.version>3.3.0.ga</hibernate.version>
    </properties>
    ...
    <dependencies>
        <dependency>
            <groupId>org.hibernate</groupId>
            <artifactId>hibernate</artifactId>
            <version>${hibernate.version}</version>
        </dependency>
    </dependencies>
    ...
</project>

 

The previous example defines two properties: arbitrary.property.a and hibernate.version. The hibernate.version is referenced in a dependency declaration. Using the period character as a separator in property names is a standard practice throughout Maven POMs and Profiles. The next example shows you how to define a property in a profile from a Maven POM.

User-defined Properties in a Profile in a POM. 

<project>
    ...
    <profiles>
        <profile>
            <id>some-profile</id>
            <properties>
                <arbitrary.property>This is some text</arbitrary.property>
            </properties>
        </profile>
    </profiles>
    ...
</project>

 

The previous example demonstrates the process of defining a user-defined property in a profile from a Maven POM. For more information about user-defined properties and profiles, see Chapter 5, Build Profiles.
