Subject: Maven javadoc plugin's aggregate-jar goal, multi-module
project, and code generation
I am beating my head against the wall on this and surely I am just being
stupid so hopefully someone will take pity on me and point me in the right
direction.
I am trying to add Javadoc generation into my normal build process for my
multi-module project. It all works fine if I run "mvn install" on the
project followed by "mvn javadoc:aggregate-jar" but I would really like to
be able to generate the javadocs jar as part of the normal build so that
it:
- Gets built by default (without having to remember to run the
extra command)
- Sets attached to the build so that the install plugin installs it
I put something like the following in the top-level POM (the module names
have been changed to protect the innocent.):
<modules>
<module>mod1</module>
<module>mod2</module>
<module>mod3</module>
<module>mod4</module>
<module>mod5</module>
<module>mod6</module>
</modules>
<build>
<plugins>
<plugin>
<groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId>
<artifactId>maven-javadoc-plugin</artifactId>
<executions>
<execution>
<id>generate-javadoc</id>
<goals>
<goal>aggregate-jar</goal>
</goals>
</execution>
</executions>
</plugin>
</plugins>
</build>
Unfortunately, this runs the aggregate-jar goal first, before building the
modules. Since Java code in the modules reference classes generated by
the module build, the build generates tons of warnings from the Javadoc
plugin about not finding the generated classes (which makes sense since
they don't exist yet) like this:
[WARNING] import com.mycompany.mod4.resources.MyResourceBundle;
[WARNING] ^
[WARNING]
C:\myproject\mod4\src\main\java\com\mycompany\mod4\MyApplication.java:24:
error: package com.mycompany.mod4.resources does not exist
Is there really no way to do this with code generation?
Thanks,
Robert
