| Hi Ramsey,
I found a way to produce the desired result if you cannot avoid the use of WOBootstrap.jar. You may consider it a hack, but it should work.
1) Create a lib folder into your project.
2) Copy the WOBootstrap.jar file into the lib folder.
3) Create a wobuild.properties file into the lib folder containing the following properties:
wo.bootstrapjar=lib/WOBootstrap.jar wo.wolocalroot=foo wo.wosystemroot=bar
4) Create a .mvn folder into your project.
5) Add a file called jvm.config into the .mvn folder containing the following information:
-DWOBUILD_PROPERTIES=lib/wobuild.properties
Steps #4 and #5 require Maven 3.3.1 or greater. The properties from the jvm.config file are appended to any Maven command executed inside the project. You have to run the Maven command with the -D option explicitly for older versions. For example:
mvn clean install -DWOBUILD_PROPERTIES=lib/wobuild.properties.
It isn’t a beautiful solution, but it is isolated and keeps your build reproducible across environments. Anyway, I keep saying that unless there is strong reason (as you have), using the WOBootstrap.jar should be discouraged.
I notice on the rather dated roadmap that 3.0 was intended to merge/replace the woproject ant stuff.
Have you ever made a branch for that or had any progress in that direction?
No progress in that direction. Are there any major hurdles blocking that goal?
I guess lack of interest? The cost to produce a general library that could be used by both the Ant tasks and the Maven Mojos wouldn’t worth it.
Cheers,
Henrique
PS.: The wo.wolocalroot and wo.wosystemroot are required to avoid an incorrect BUILD FAILED message.

Thanks for the reply Henrique. I just wanted to make sure I am not overlooking some special magic property to make it work or if there is some way to reference it from my dependency repo. I may see if I can figure out how to make the old woapp script properly escape the () in the path, since it appears to work (at least, on windows 10) otherwise. Then I just won’t need(?) WOBootstrap.jar.
I gather this is the desired way to go if I want to use WOInject at some point in the future, based on my reading of old threads from the mailing list. Referencing magic jars outside the dependency repo seems like a step backwards when trying to use maven.

Theoretically, defining the wo.bootstrapjar variable in the build.properties should work. Defining the full path as you did is another option too. However, as soon as the Maven plugin uses an old version of woproject-ant-tasks, it may not work as we expect it to work (considering the current source code for this library).
I’ll try to debug the plugin execution to understand what’s going on.
