Getting eclipse auto builds to respect properties-maven-plugin pom.xml settings

[mattadamson]

Hi,

We're using this plug in successfully to set system properties using execution configuration such as

                    <execution>
                        <goals>
                            <goal>set-system-properties</goal>
                        </goals>
                        <configuration>
                            <properties>
                                <property>
                                    <name>javax.xml.accessExternalSchema</name>
                                    <value>all</value>
                                </property>
                            </properties>
                        </configuration>
                    </execution>

Whilst this works fine building through maven on the command line it doesn't seem to be reflected when eclipse performs an auto build.

Initially I thought this may help however it still doesn't execute

                </plugin>
            </plugins>

We need the JVM property to be set because this plug in configuration requires it to run correctly

Appreciate your thoughts on how others manage this

Thanks

In Eclipse usually only the life cycle is executed till generate-resources not more...that might cause your issue...

[mattadamson]

Thanks what do you mean "not more" ? Can you think of any work around at all?

[khmarbaise]

I mean the life cycle phases after generate-sources will not executed during an import in Eclipse. What i don't understand why do you need system properties to run jaxb2-maven-plugin ? Do you have a small example project which shows the problem? Are you using an uptodate version of jaxb2-maven-plugin ?
