jdb maven: InstallMojo source

Question

I try to debug install::install using mvnDebug/jdb -attach 8000 I get easily to org.apache.maven.plugin.DefaultBuildPluginManager:101 and then step on mojo.execute() which leads me to:

main[1] where
  [1] org.apache.maven.plugin.install.InstallMojo.execute (InstallMojo.java:76)
  [2] org.apache.maven.plugin.DefaultBuildPluginManager.executeMojo (DefaultBuildPluginManager.java:101)
...

I find the sources for InstallMojo.java from svn, but how should I know what tag to checkout?
Thanks,
Marc

Do you know the version of the install plugin you want to analyze ? — khmarbaise, Jul 09 '12 at 11:55

Based on the given information you are using the 2.3.1 version of the maven-install-plugin you can simply read the pom file of that particular version which means search for that version in maven central. And the pom file will give you the information you need:

Excerpt:

<scm><connection>scm:svn:http://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/maven/plugins/tags/maven-install-plugin-2.3.1</connection>
<developerConnection>scm:svn:https://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/maven/plugins/tags/maven-install-plugin-2.3.1</developerConnection>

This gives you the exact location of the SVN Tag in the apache SVN repository and of course the correct location which you can checkout.
