Hello,
My pom.xml
is running an Ant task to deploy a file using FTP. However, this deployment must be only done if the -Dftp=true
argument is given in the Maven command (i.e. mvn clean install -Dftp=true
). Thus, I wrote the following code:
<build>
<plugins>
<plugin>
<groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId>
<artifactId>maven-antrun-plugin</artifactId>
<version>1.2</version>
<executions>
<execution>
<phase>package</phase>
<goals>
<goal>run</goal>
</goals>
<configuration>
<tasks if="ftp">
<echo message="Deploying files through FTP..."/>
...
</tasks>
</configuration>
</execution>
</executions>
Using this pom.xml
, the Ant task is not executed if I do not define the -Dftp
property in my Maven command. However, if I give any kind of value for this property, for example -Dftp=false
, the Ant task is run, which is not correct.
How configure the AntRun task to be run only if a given property has a given value?
ps: I know I can use a profile
that is only active when ftp
is equal to true
. This solution works, but for some reason, I want to have my Antrun plugin build
block.
<profiles>
<profile>
<id>deployment</id>
<activation>
<activeByDefault>false</activeByDefault>
<property>
<name>ftp</name>
<value>true</value>
</property>
</activation>
<build>
<plugins>
<plugin>
... (define the Ant task here)
