extraJvmArgs parameter

[badgerduke]

Hello:

I'm new to Maven and the gwt-maven plugin. I want to set system
properties for the server-side portion of my GWT application. I see
the "extraJvmArgs" parameter but I don't know how to use it. At
first, I tried:

mvn clean com.totsp.gwt:maven-googlewebtoolkit2-plugin:gwt -
Dlog.directory=c:\log -Dlog.level=DEBUG

This didn't work. How would this command look if I were to use the
"extraJvmArgs" parameter?

Thanks

I found extraJvmArgs in the plugin part of the POM. Thanks!

You can also use your ~/.m2/settings.xml file for that. Specifically, since the log directory might change on different systems, putting:

<profile>

            <id>gwt-2.0-trunk</id>

            <properties>

                <google.webtoolkit.extrajvmargs>-Dlog.directory=c:\log -Dlog.level=DEBUG</google.webtoolkit.home>

            </properties>

        </profile>

can keep that stuff out of the stable project def.
