i'm sure there's a better way to do this, but we're slowly trying to
expunge the CORBA from our systems so it hasn't been a high priority.
in one of our artifacts that occasionally requires IDL compilation we
have a profile set up to make an ANT call:
<profiles>
<profile>
<id>idl2java</id>
<build>
<plugins>
<plugin>
<!--
using antrun to execute
idl2java has the portability issue, but
the codehaus plugin
couldn't generate the
nonstandard tie method created by
visibroker. Hence, visibroker
idl2java must be
installed in C: drive before this can be run
-->
<groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId>
<artifactId>maven-antrun-plugin</artifactId>
<executions>
<execution>
<id>idl2java</id>
<phase>generate-sources</phase>
<configuration>
<tasks>
<property name="idl2java.executable"
value="C:\Inprise\vbroker\bin\idl2java.exe"/>
<ant antfile="${basedir}/build.xml">
<target name="idl"/>
</ant>
</tasks>
</configuration>
<goals>
<goal>run</goal>
</goals>
</execution>
</executions>
</plugin>
</plugins>
</build>
</profile>
</profiles>
and next to that artifacts pom file we have a build.xml containing:
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<project name="test6">
<target name="idl" description="compile all IDL sources to Java source
files">
<apply executable="${idl2java.executable}" failonerror="true">
<!-- generated java file in source diectory -->
<arg line="-all_serializable -root_dir ./src/main/java"
/>
<!-- the other idl depends on StringArray.idl in
com/abc -->
<arg line="-no_examples -no_tie
-Isrc/main/java/com/abc" />
<arg line="-no_toString" />
<fileset dir="${basedir}/src/main/java/com/">
<include name="**/*.idl" />
</fileset>
</apply>
</target>
</project>
then, when we have IDL updates, we build the artifact with the following cmd:
mvn clean install -Pidl2java
again, i'm sure there are more elegant ways to do this, but this
currently serves our needs.
