Hi all,
I have been trying Maven for the past week, and come up against two major
difficulties:
CODE GENERATOR
--
I have a code-generator task written for Ant that I'm trying to turn into
a Maven plugin. Since it is a code generator, I need to do the following:
1. Run the code generator.
2. Compile the java source files and the files generated in step (1).
I thought that defining a preoal for java:compile would do the trick, and
this actually worked:
1. Use the maven.compile.src.set path to find source files, and feed
these to the code generator.
2. The code generator uses the maven.build.dir property to output a
temporary source tree to ${maven.build.dir}/generated
3. Add the ${maven.build.dir}/generated path to the maven.compile.src.set
path via maven:addPath/.
Then the java:compile goal will kick in and compile the original java
source files along with the newly generated ones. So far so good, then -
but then I moved the above code into a plugin (I had had it in the
maven.xml of my project first), and suddenly I discovered the following:
+ maven.compile.src.set no longer available.
+ Adding the ${maven.build.dir}/generated path to the
maven.compile.src.set path via maven:addPath/ doesn't work. When
java:compile kicks in the change has been rolled back.
So my questions are:
1. How can I access the maven.compile.src.set property from a plugin?
2. How can I modify the maven.compile.src.set property from a plugin?
JAR TOOL
I also have a tool that operates on the produced JAR file. So I defined a
postGoal for jar:jar, and figured I'd use the
${maven.build.dir}/${maven.final.name}.jar path to find the jar that was
just produced. However, this turned out not to work in the case when
jar:jar was called from jar:snapshot. The j:set/ done in jar:snapshot to
set the jar's name to the snapshotSignature isn't visible from the
postGoal.
So my questions are:
1. Is there an easy way to add any post-processing of the jar file
created by jar:jar?
2. Is there any way to find out the path of the jar created in jar:jar?
