pom.basedir blanked out with Netbeans 6?

[Lally Singh]

Hey all,

I'm having trouble with ${pom.basedir} in my project. I have a few
XML files used by DBUnit, but DBUnit won't find the files when run in
netbeans (runs great on the command line).

The relevant parts:
<plugin>
<groupId>org.codehaus.mojo</groupId>
<artifactId>dbunit-maven-plugin</artifactId>
<dependencies>
<dependency>
<groupId>mysql</groupId>
<artifactId>mysql-connector-java</artifactId>
<version>5.0.5</version>
</dependency>
</dependencies>
<configuration>
<driver>com.mysql.jdbc.Driver</driver>
<format>flat</format>
<url>jdbc:mysql://localhost/quickstart</url>
<username>--</username>
<password>--</password>
<dataTypeWarning>true</dataTypeWarning>
</configuration>
<executions>
<execution>
<id>testdata_upload_vto</id>
<phase>test-compile</phase>
<goals><goal>operation</goal></goals>
<configuration>
<type>CLEAN_INSERT</type>
<src>${pom.basedir}/src/test/data/db_vto.xml</src>
<url>jdbc:mysql://localhost/vto</url>
</configuration>
...


I get this back:

------------------------------------------------------------------------
[ERROR]BUILD ERROR
------------------------------------------------------------------------
src/test/data/db_vto.xml (No such file or directory)


Any ideas why ${pom.basedir} is apparently blank?

Where do I find documentation on the builtin properties like ${pom.basedir}?

And yeah, the file's still there :-)

Thanks in advance,

-Lally

I didn't hear about "pom.basedir" so far, I always use just "basedir".
if pom.basedir was introduced in 2.0.5+ then it won't be recognized in
the netbeans, because it's currently using a maven embedder version
that is very close to 2.0.4 version. After upgrading to upcoming 2.1,
the issue will go away.
