| Mojos |
| |
| The two main mojos of the plugin are: |
| |
| * generate which generates a Maven 2 project from an archetype. It wraps up |
| a lifecycle around the three mojos select-archetype, configure-generation |
| and generate-project. |
| For a complete example see {{{generation.html}generation}}. |
| |
| * create which creates an archetype from a Maven 2 project. It wraps up a |
| lifecycle around the two mojos configure-creation and create-archetype. |
| |
| [] |
| |
| The other mojos of the plugin are: |
| |
| * clean which removes the archetype.properties file used by both the |
| generation of a project and the creation of an archetype. |
| |
| * select-archetype performs the first step of the generation. |
| |
| It first asks for a plugin group, looks up in the repository for |
| archetypes of that group. |
| |
| Then it asks for an archetype, looks up in the repository for versions of |
| that archetype. |
| |
| Then is asks for a version and asks for the confirmation of the selection. |
| |
| At the end, it stores the selection in the archetype.properties file. |
| |
| * configure-generation performs the second step of the generation. |
| |
| It first asks values for each of the common properties. |
| |
| It then asks values for each of the archtype's properties which don't |
| provide default values. |
| |
| It then asks for the confirmation of the configuration. |
| |
| At the end, it stores the configuration in the archetype.properties file. |
| |
| * generate-project performs the third and last step of the generation. |
| |
| It reads the configuration from the property file. |
| |
| Then it generates all the project files from the choosen archetype's |
| templates and the configuration. |
| |
| The project files are generated in a directory named from the artifactId |
| common property. |
| |
| * configure-creation performs the first step of the creation. |
| |
| It first asks for the archetype definition (groupId, artifactId, version). |
| |
| It then asks for the values of the common properties. It provides |
| meaningfull defaults. |
| |
| It then ask for some specific properties in two questions: first the name |
| of the property and second the value of that property. |
| |
| It the asks for the confirmation of the configuration. |
| |
| At the end, it stores the definition and configuration in the |
| archetype.properties file. |
| |
| * create-archetype performs the second and last step of the creation. |
| |
| It reads the definition and the configuratino from the property file. |
| |
| Then it creates all the templates of the archetype from the project |
| sources files. |
| |
| Then it creates the descriptor of the archetype from the configuration and |
| the resolved templates. |
| |
| The resulting archetype Maven 2 project is created in the |
| target/generate-sources/archetypeng directory. |
