Jesse McConnell commented on MNG-681: ------------------------------------- I am cool with whatever makes it simple to write plugins generate-sources is cake, after the compile, post compile plugins are just a bit more painful is all :P > Plugin Utility Class > -------------------- > > Key: MNG-681 > URL: http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/MNG-681 > Project: Maven 2 > Type: New Feature > Components: maven-plugin-api > Versions: 2.0-alpha-3 > Reporter: Jesse McConnell > Priority: Minor > Fix For: 2.0-beta-2 > > > Tryg mentioned that we might want to make a plugins utility class for some of > the issues I ran into implementing a mess of a plugin. > the plugin was pinned into the process-classes phase and generated a source > file which needed to be compiled > 1) I needed to have the classes that were compiled in the compile phase in my > classpath for the plugin. my way around this was to make a URLClassLoader > pointed at the compiled classes. The classes I was processing all used one > of two interfaces and it would have been nice to have those interfaces > available to cast the new instances of the classes and call a method > directly. reflection served the purpose though > 2) I needed to compile the freshly generated source file, so I ripped a mess > of code from the maven compiler plugin to achieve this > two examples of things that would be nice to have a cleaner method of > achieving the same results..if you think it is a good idea I can generalize > what I did into a couple of api's I think. -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA. - If you think it was sent incorrectly contact one of the administrators: http://jira.codehaus.org/secure/Administrators.jspa - For more information on JIRA, see: http://www.atlassian.com/software/jira --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
