Hi all,
I'm working on a maven 2 plugin to compile IDL files. Alan Cabrera
created an initial plugin, and I am adding some additional features.
I have a couple of questions I'd like to have some help with.
I need to be specify various parameters to pass to the compiler backend.
For each idl file to compile, the following needs to be specified:
- Whether the compiler should emit stubs, skeletons or both
- A list of package prefixes
- A list of symbol definitions for preprocessing of the IDL files
Obviously, these configurations would be the same for many .idl files,
so the .idl files should be grouped together.
I suppose an XML configuration of the plugin could look something like this:
<configuration>
<compiler>jacorb</compiler>
<sources>
<source>
<emit>all</emit>
<includes>
<include>**/*.idl</include>
</includes>
<excludes>
<exclude>**/CORBA_TypeCode.idl</exclude>
</excludes>
<packagePrefixes>
<packagePrefix>
<type>IIOP</type>
<prefix>org.omg</prefix>
</packagePrefix>
</packagePrefixes>
<defines>
<define>
<symbol>_PRE_3_0_COMPILER_</symobl>
<value>1</value>
</define>
</defines>
</source>
<test-source>
.
.
.
</test-source>
</sources>
</configuration>
I think it would provide the neccessary flexibility. Does this
configuration layout look OK to you guys?
I understand that the right way to scan for files to include for
compilation is to use a
org.codehaus.plexus.compiler.util.scan.StaleSourceScanner. This class
uses a SourceMapping to specify which sources to include. There does not
seem to be a mapping that can filter sources based some include and
exclude patterns, however. Is anyone working on such a SourceMapping, or
should I make up my own?
Best regards,
Anders
