I have written a Mojo which binds to "generate-sources" phase and needs to process a jar artifact dependency of the project. The problem is that when I invoke the Mojo, the dependency (the artifact) is not downloaded into project.getDirectory().
My Mojo is defined in plugin my.plugins:myplugin as follows:
/** * Goal which extracts files from dependency framework.jar. * * @(protected) bootstrap * * @(protected) compile * @(protected) generate-sources */
I have also included the component "dependencies" in the Mojo (I thought this might be needed to force dependency resolution):
/** * The set of dependencies required by this project * @(protected) default-value="${project.dependencies}" * @(protected) * @(protected) */ private Collection dependencies;
Now consider a project foo where this plugin is used during "generate-sources" phase:
// Excerpt from the POM using the Mojo: <dependencies> <dependency> <groupId>MyGroup</groupId> <artifactId>framework</artifactId> <version>1.0-SNAPSHOT</version> </dependency> </dependencies>
The client project binds the Mojo to the generate-sources phase:
<plugin> <groupId>my.plugins</groupId> <artifactId>myplugin</artifactId> <configuration> <resourcesFile> framework-1 (See http://ork-1.ora-code.com).0-SNAPSHOT.jar </resourcesFile> </configuration> <executions> <execution> <id>bootstrap</id> <phase>generate-sources</phase> <configuration> //... </configuration> </execution> </executions> </plugin>
The Mojo processes the artifact framework.jar when invoked:
$ mvn myplugin:bootstrap
This fails because it does not find the artifact framework-1 (See http://ork-1.ora-code.com).0-SNAPSHOT.jar in MavenProject.getBuild().getDirectory().
I need to force the plugin to download framework-1 (See http://ork-1.ora-code.com).0-SNAPSHOT.jar during generate-sources phase; I thought the class-level annotation @(protected) generate-resources
would do the trick. It obviously is not working. How do I force the project to download this artifact when this Mojo is invoked?
Thanks!
