I'm looking for a way to look up hostname and set it as a property in Maven.
This does not work in all environments:
...
<properties>
<hostname>${env.HOSTNAME}</hostname>
</properties>
...
Any suggestions?
Use a groovy script to set the project property
<plugin>
<groupId>org.codehaus.groovy.maven</groupId>
<artifactId>gmaven-plugin</artifactId>
<executions>
<execution>
<phase>generate-resources</phase>
<goals>
<goal>execute</goal>
</goals>
<configuration>
<source>
project.properties["hostname"] = InetAddress.getLocalHost().getHostName()
</source>
</configuration>
</execution>
</executions>
</plugin>
