You can now access the extension points before and after the build is executed 
in 3.x. We use this exactly for OSGi as you were trying with the PDE plugin.

If I understand the last sentence, then you're saying that we have have 3 
separate initiatives going on with Tom's work the PST plug-in (which I'm 
reading about now) and the PDE plug-in I worked up.  If I got that wrong then 
please correct.  I have some work similar to the PST stuff as I created mojos 
to handle an eclipse target platform and put it into a maven repo too.  I 
started looking at Tom's work before I headed to the office and I'll pick back 
up after lunch today and after I finish the article on the PST mojos.  I'm 
pretty sure Tom's ahead of me and would welcome the chance to work with him to 
solve this generic OSGi bundle building problem.

It's probably the most comprehensive and Tom has been using it in production 
for quite some time. We have talked about reading manifests directly and it 
embeds the PDE resolver so it's not just a PDE wrapper. That approach still 
works and there is the PDE plugin and the PST work:

Jason, I see you've picked this issue up.  If I can shed more light on why this 
is needed or how it applies in the eclipse plug-in or specifically in the more 
general building OSGi bundles case then please let me know.  I missed seeing 
Brian F. previous comments but it al most seems like he's talking about a new 
interface a mojo would implement to get pluggeg into the super-init phase.  
Similar I imagine to how spring uses its create and destroy interfaces for 
beans to be hooked into the spring context's lifecycle.

I imagine that this issue might be addresses/targeted for Maven 2.1, so on a 
tangential issue will it be possible to dynamically create/augment MavenProject 
instances and add them to the Reactor's list before it sorts them?  I ask 
because I just last week started taking another crack at solving the Eclipse 
PDE build issue with Maven.  Basically I have written up in a Confluence page 
everything that the Eclipse PDE build ant scripts do, with the intent of 
replacing that with several mojos.  However, PDE is not about to change and I 
don't want developers maintaining build info in 2 places, so I want to have a 
simple pom.xml in every plugin, feature, fragment, etc project that has a mojo 
bound that will augment the MavenProject instance with data pulled from 
eclipse's own project files.  Utimatley I would want to do this augmentation in 
the "super-init" phase.

The layout could be the following:

MyPluginProject:
  - pom.xml
  - features/
 - com.example.foo/
- pom.xml
- ...
  - plugins/
 - com.example.bar/
- pom.xml
- ...
 - com.example.baz/
- pom.xml
- ...

Note that the pom files in the individual features and plugins folders might 
not exist if they can be dynamically created a mojos in the top level pom.

[jira] Commented: (MNG-2546) Allow plugin executions in the "super-init" phase before reactor sorting of modules build order

2006-12-05 Thread Brian Fox (JIRA)
[ http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/MNG-2546?page=comments#action_81861 ] 

Brian Fox commented on MNG-2546:


Allowing a plugin to bind to a super-init phase is certainly helpful but I 
think some way to allow a plugin to bind to a normal phase and participate in 
the super-init is needed. Take the following example:

I build a zip file that needs to be unpacked during the compile phase of a 
sibling project. In the dependent project, I use maven-dependency-plugin:unpack 
bound to the compile phase. In order to guarantee the reactor order, I would 
need the plugin to be able to read it's configuration and add a dynamic 
dependency during the super-init, but then wait to the compile phase of my 
project to actually unpack.

 I don't see how a single phase would allow this without duplicating the 
configuration. I see something more like a new "execute" method that gets 
called during super-init to allow some interaction, or some other way to map 
methods to a "super" phase. I'm thinking of a case where the plugin author 
knows that something will always need to be done and doesn't want to require 
extra pom work to make it work correctly.

This is exactly what the dependency plugin needs to handle defacto dependencies

Binyan commented on MNG-2546:

I'm saying (I think) that maven should have 1 LifecycleExecutor whose job is to 
execute a single Lifecycle.  The lifecycle to execute could be specified on the 
command line and/or in the pom.  I'm mainly thinking about multi-project builds 
but I don't see big benefits for single projects at my current caffiene level.  
If the user did NOT specify a lifecycle on the command line or in the pom, then 
the lifecycle executor would execute a new "default" lifecycle the same as it 
does today.

The default lifecycle would have the pre and post reactor phases you previously 
outlined.  The LifecycleExecutor would execute the lifecycle from start to 
designated phase as it does today.  The big switch IMO is that the reactor 
would be a plugin that is bound to the reactor phases and would be called to 
execute the reactor across the current default lifecycle (validate ... deploy). 
 This would allow binding before and after the reactor and current projects 
would continue to work with out any changes.

I'm thinking we need this

Lifecycle Name: Phases/Component Lifecycles
=
Pre-Reactor Lifecycle: reactor-init, reactor-start
Reactor Lifecycle: reactor-build
Post-Reactor Lifecycle: reactor-stop, reactor-assemble, reactor-verify, 
reactor-stop
Default Lifecycle: Pre-Reactor Lifecycle, Reactor Lifecycle, Post-Reactor 
Lifecycle
Foo Lifecycle: clean-room-phase, take-out-trash-phase, Default Lifecycle, 
brush-teeth-phase


The default lifecycle would be composed of the "Pre-Reactor, Reactor, and 
Post-Reactor" lifecycles.  This is why I thought of the composition pattern 
because a lifecycle is composed of phases and other lifecycles as components.  
Now you could bind the assembly plugin to a phase in  the pre-reactor lifecycle 
or you could declare your own lifecycle,like the Foo lifecycle, which declares 
it's own phases with plugin bindings and a component lifecycle, (i.e. Default  
lifecycle).

Was this any clearer?

[jira] Commented: (MNG-2546) Allow plugin executions in the "super-init" phase before reactor sorting of modules build order

2006-09-06 Thread John Casey (JIRA)
[ http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/MNG-2546?page=comments#action_74192 ] 

John Casey commented on MNG-2546:

I'm not sure I follow; are you saying that we should collapse the reactor 
phases into the main project build lifecycle as a new version of the existing 
default, and then selectively execute part of that lifecycle outside the 
reactor, and other parts within the reactor (i.e. per-project)?

The reason I like the concept of scoped lifecycles is that any existing project 
today, when released, may have a need to produce a binary assembly that 
contains all of the module projects, etc. If we wrap the existing (or any 
other) lifecycle inside a reactor-level lifecycle, then these people will have 
the ability to bind the assembly plugin outside of the project-level lifecycle 
and have it execute at the appropriate time.

IMO, the semantics of binding to a project-level lifecycle (for war, ear, ejb, 
etc. packaging) shouldn't change in most cases with this addition.

However, now that I think a little more about your use cases (eclipse plugin 
dev), I think I see what you're getting at. You'd like to be able to specify 
something akin to war and have the reactor-level 
lifecycle bindings be provided by the default mapping for the packaging.

We already have three lifecycles used in Maven, and a given packaging can 
choose to override any of the three. They are: clean, site, and default. The 
default one is for "normal" builds, and the other two are pretty 
self-explanatory, I guess. What if we added another lifecycle called "reactor" 
or "multimodule" which would allow mapping of things like your pde 
pre-processor mojo when the packaging == pde-plugin or similar?

If you want to see how these are constructed, have a look at:

http://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/maven/components/trunk/maven-core/src/main/resources/META-INF/plexus/components.xml

and search for 'DefaultLifecycleMapping' to see how the different packaging 
types are mapped in.

Would this meet your requirements?

Binyan commented on MNG-2546:

This is really an implementation of the composite pattern IMO and we should 
flip the architecture.  We need to have a default lifecycle the same as it 
exists today.  However the new default lifecycle should have the pre and post 
reactor phases you wrote about in the email.  Then the DefaultMaven class would 
invoke the LifecycleExecutor implementation, which would execute the specified 
lifecycle (or new default if one wasn't specified) and the reactor should be 
bound to a phase in the new default like any other plugin.  I think there 
should be a top level element in the pom to indicate the lifecycle to use too.

[jira] Commented: (MNG-2546) Allow plugin executions in the "super-init" phase before reactor sorting of modules build order

2006-09-06 Thread John Casey (JIRA)
[ http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/MNG-2546?page=comments#action_74188 ] 

John Casey commented on MNG-2546:

Wanted to link in this conversation, and also add a comment (somewhat excerpted 
from the mail thread).

The thread is here:

http://www.nabble.com/forum/ViewPost.jtp?post=6141419&framed=y

And my comment is:

I think we should explore design/development of a reactor-level lifecycle which 
will run once and only once per maven invocation (per build, not per project). 
This would allow us to declare some discrete phases in which different 
categories of reactor-level work takes place, and align plugins to those phases 
so that a more-or-less declarative ordering at the reactor level can be 
achieved. In this model, the module builds would take place in a reactor phase 
somewhere in the middle of the reactor lifecycle, allowing us to bind plugins 
for a single run before or after the modules are built, or even before or after 
other reactor-level plugins. It would also replace the current @aggregator 
syntax for mojos, I think, since you would have more control over that mojo's 
placement than simply saying, "Run only once; I don't care when."

The lifecycle/phase pattern works relatively well right now for single-project 
builds, and for most builds in a given reactor scenario. I think repeating the 
pattern at the reactor scale would allow us to address reactor-level and 
project-level plugin binding design changes at the same time, if/when we decide 
to do that for future releases.

Please see the email thread for more detail on this proposal.

Binyan commented on MNG-2546:

I just today asked on the Eclipse PDE list about where I could move this plugin 
so it could get more exposure and use cases to flush it out more.  Personally, 
I don't have a preference.  If it is too come to under the apache license I 
will need to see about a couple of classes that were provided to me for an EPL 
project.  I don't think they will e an issue with changing the license of those 
classes, but I'll ask and see.

And yes, the plugin works for OSGi bundles.

As for the patch I have an example set of projects I use for testing the 
maven-pde-plugin.  Once I cleanup the code I'll see if I can create a maven 
test for it.  However, feel free to make the small tweaks, I can test it out 
faster than I can likely learn how to create a maven test.

Are you going to put the PDE plugin at Eclipse? We definitely can get you

general?

Can you also link to your eclipse pde plugin.

Some work like this is being done in the eclipse:eclipse plugin and given the 
small number of people wanting this specialised functionality it would be great 
if we could work together.

>   I also have the need to bind my maven-pde-plugin to a phase before the 
> reactor sorting of project build order happens.  My plugin is being developed 
> to build eclipse plugins, features, fragments, update sites and products.  
> Right now I can build plugins and features.  However the order has to 
> constantly be managed by the user taking information from the eclipse 
> descriptors and adding it to the pom file.  For plugin projects I can bind to 
> a phase before the compile phase and dynamically analyze the eclipse plugin 
> descriptors and add the necessary dependencies/resources to the MavenProject 
> instance and all is well.  For feature projects, I also can dynamically 
> analyze the eclipse feature descriptor and add the necessary resources to the 
> MavenProject instance.  However, features depend on other plugins, fragments 
> and features.  While I can dynamicaly add the plugins, fragments and features 
> to the MavenProject as dependencies they are not taken into context as the 
> reactor has already computed the sorting order.
> What would be perfect is if there was a "super-init" phase that plugins could 
> bind to and be executed in before the normal declared lifecycle happened.  
> Therefore no matter what the lifecycle was, the "super-init" phase would be 
> available.  Then plugins could do things like augmenting the super-pom with 
> build #'s/identifiers, dependencies, dynamic projects, etc all before maven 
> gets going.  That would solve the problem myself and others have as well as 
> be 100% backwards compatible.  This super-init phase (please pick a better 
> name) would e available to reactor and non-reactor builds.  A more specific 
> fix would be to allow plugins to ask the reactor to reevaluate the build 
> order.
