Hello,
I am writing an AndroMDA (http://www.adnromda.org)
plugin for Maven and
basically have it working but I am having trouble
understanding
dependencies.
The AndroMDA pluging requires a bunch of jars to
compile (but mostly at
runtime). I have listed these in the dependencies
section of the project.xml
for the plugin. I can compile & install the plugin no
problem.
However the only way I can get it to work is by
duplicating the dependcy
list from the plugin into the project.xml file of the
project that uses the
plugin.
I don't think this is the right thing to do, it seems
like a workaround. I
have read all I can and searched archives but cannot
find the answer to have
these dependencies "flow through" to the project that
uses the plugin. This
may be complicated by the fact that the plugin.jelly
has to do an Ant
taskdef, I perform it like this:
<taskdef name="andromda"
classname="org.andromda.core.anttasks.AndroMDAGenTask">
<classpath>
<path refid="maven.dependency.classpath"/>
</classpath>
</taskdef>
But the taskdef fails unless I have all of the
required JARs for AndroMDA in
the dependencies section of the project that simply
wants to use the
AndroMDA plugin. Does that piece of Jelly code refer
to the
maven.dependency.classpath of the plugin or of the
project using the plugin?
Is this normal? Is there some other way to manage the
depencies? I tried
declaring the AndroMDA plugin in the depencies section
as a
<type>plugin</type>, but that didn't solve the problem
I hope I have provided enough information. Links to
previsous posts I missed
or documenation I missed would be appreciated
Thanks,
Matthew
