user-id maven plugin
This plugin provides the user-id (UID) of the user executing the build.
Due to the java system itself not providing this information but only
the username, the plugin gets the property user.name of the systems
properties. This unfortunately breaky the possibillity to use the
plugin for non-standard unix-environments.
WARNING
Using this plugin could couple your build tightly to your environment.
Please use it only if you really need it.
Example
To enable the plugin add this to your build-plugins in your pom.xml.
<plugin>
<!-- Plugin only works with unix-like environments, please use it wisely! -->
<groupId>org.rjung.util</groupId>
<artifactId>user-id-maven-plugin</artifactId>
<version>1.0</version>
<!-- (If you have an idea how I can omit the executions, please contact the author of this plugin) -->
<executions>
<execution>
<goals>
<goal>user-id</goal>
</goals>
</execution>
</executions>
</plugin>
Now you can use ${user.id} within your pom.xml.
Configuration
You can adapt some different values to your need:
<plugin>
<!-- Plugin only works with unix-like environments, please use it wisely! -->
