Re: [Engine-devel] maven settings.xml in building ovirt engine wiki
settings.xml is consumed by maven only, while other programs such as IDE, Jboss, etc
consume environment variables set in other ways such as .bashrc.
Thus we need them both - and this is why I think it's better to re-use the
configuration from .bashrc in settings.xml.

Hi,
That too could work, but once it already needs to be in the settings.xml, why would you
want another configuration file (like .bashrc)?

Subject: [Engine-devel] maven settings.xml in building ovirt engine wiki
Hi,
In this wiki http://wiki.ovirt.org/wiki/Building_oVirt_engine
The suggested maven settings.xml contains hardcoded paths to
jboss_home and java_home.
IMHO it's better to use environment variables to take the above
settings from there, instead of managing those settings twice in 2
different places.
The current settings look like this (note that java path is incorrect
anyway, including /bin/java)
<jbossHome>/usr/share/jboss-as</jbossHome>
<JAVA_HOME>/usr/lib/jvm/java-1.7.0-openjdk-1.7.0.0.x86_64/bin/java</JAVA_HOME>
How about changing settings.xml to something like:
<jbossHome>${env.JBOSS_HOME}</jbossHome>
<JAVA_HOME>${env.JAVA_HOME}</JAVA_HOME>
Does anyone see a problem with the suggested approach?
Thanks
Alissa
