Improve Documentation for multiple executions #81

Closed GoogleCodeExporter closed 8 years ago

GoogleCodeExporter commented 8 years ago 
I used the replacer plugin in multiple projects and had the issue to use it for 
multiple files in different folders and different destination folders.
I used various maven plugins before but was not aware of the fact that a 
configuration can be set "globally" for a plugin AND for a specific execution. 
Therefore i started to make various workarounds to move the file form folder A  
to B and so on...much pain...

Now all I'm asking about is if you could add an example to the UsageGuide in 
which the configuration is set for a more than one execution with a specific 
configuration. This could probably save time for many developers  as I am which 
are not so aware of the power of maven plugins  :)

Here a suggestion:
<executions>
    <execution>
        <id>execution1</id>
        <phase>prepare-package</phase>
        <goals>
            <goal>replace</goal>
        </goals>
        <configuration>
            <file>template/somefile1.txt</file>
            <outputFile>target/somefile1.txt</outputFile>
            <replacements>
                <replacement>
                    <token>TOKEN1</token>
                    <value>VALUE1</value>
                </replacement>
            </replacements>
        </configuration>
    </execution>
    <execution>
        <id>execution2</id>
        <phase>prepare-package</phase>
        <goals>
            <goal>replace</goal>
        </goals>
        <configuration>
            <file>template/somefile2.txt</file>
            <outputFile>target/somefile2.txt</outputFile>
            <replacements>
                <replacement>
                    <token>TOKEN2</token>
                    <value>VALUE2</value>
                </replacement>
            </replacements>
        </configuration>
    </execution>
</executions>

Cheers

I'll have a think about this one since this is standard maven functionality.

I am just going to delete this. This is standard maven behaviour.

I'd like to suggest at least that the examples you provide put the 
`configuration` block inside the relevant `execution` block.  Agree with you it 
is standard maven behaviour -- but also with OP doing otherwise just encourages 
mistakes when they try to run two different set of replacements!

but it doesn't work, it keeps throwing below error if I try to have more than 
one execution

I get the same error. While this should be standard maven behaviour, it is not 
working for this plugin. I just can't make it to do different replacements for 
different files...

Ok, should've been digging first, and write later.
I found out from another issue, that the above is possible, but than you need 
to invoke maven with the phase, and not with the goal. Then you won't get this 
NPE error.
