Remove some custom plugins in our Maven build
---------------------------------------------
Key: GEOT-1253
URL: http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/GEOT-1253
Project: GeoTools
Issue Type: Task
Components: admin
Affects Versions: 2.4.M1
Reporter: Martin Desruisseaux
Priority: Minor
We wrote some custom Maven plugins at a time when some functionalities where
not available in standard Maven release. Today, some of our custom plugins
duplicate Maven standard plugins. We should try to remove them since Maven
plugins should be better known, more widely used and supported. The list
includes:
* {{gt2-jjtree-javacc}}, replaced by {{javacc-maven-plugin}}
(http://mojo.codehaus.org/javacc-maven-plugin/)
* {{gt2-rmic}}, replaced by {{rmic-maven-plugin}}
(http://mojo.codehaus.org/rmic-maven-plugin/)
* {{gt2-jar-collector}}, replaced by {{maven-assembly-plugin}}
(http://maven.apache.org/plugins/maven-assembly-plugin/)
The later may be more difficult to replace. Our {{gt2-jar-collector}} plugin
copies the Geotools JARs as well as dependencies with "runtime" and "compile"
scope. I'm not sure how to get equivalent fonctionalities with
{{maven-assembly-plugin}}. Its look like that the {{<dependencySets>}} element
in the assembly descriptor may do the job, but it needs to be experimented. A
tedious aspect of {{maven-assembly-plugin}} is that invoking {{mvn
assembly:assembly}} cause Maven to rebuild the project.
*Note 1:* We already use the {{maven-assembly-plugin}} in 2.4-M1, but we just
use it as a zip tools. We zip the whole project in a {{gt2\-...\-src.zip}}
file, and we zip the output of {{gt2-jar-collector}} in a {{gt2\-...\-bin.zip}}
file.
*Note 2:* We also use a custom taglet for our Javadoc. This custom taglet has
no equivalent in Maven standard release as far as I know. It requires Java 5 to
work.
