Is it possible to pass property from pom.xml to template file? #38

Closed arboeh closed 2 years ago

Is it possible to pass a property from pom.xml to the *.mustache-file? I would like to extend the template with some values.

I think it works if you have the template within the pom. Does that solve your problem? If you put the template within <templateContent>: https://github.com/tomasbjerre/git-changelog-maven-plugin/blob/eb57be4b2933839c834052e5c307956832389d26/git-changelog-maven-plugin-example/pom.xml#L89

Not really. I want to keep my pom as slim as possible, that's why I asked. How would it be possible to add a property inside the template content part of the plugin? I would give it a try. Btw: Thanks for your quick reply! 👍

If you try to use <templateContent> I think you can just put ${whatever.property.name} within the template. Bu I'm not sure.

You may also have a look at the extendedVariables attribute that you can set in the pom and use in the template. The key wold be the name to use in the template, and value you can set to ${whatever.property.you.want}: https://github.com/tomasbjerre/git-changelog-maven-plugin/blob/eb57be4b2933839c834052e5c307956832389d26/src/main/java/se/bjurr/gitchangelog/plugin/GitChangelogMojo.java#L40
