| Using Non-Javac Compilers |
| |
| Contrary to this plugin's name, the Compiler Plugin does not compile the |
| sources of your project by itself. To compile, the Compiler Plugin uses |
| another class to compile them. The parameter <<<compilerId>>> determines |
| which class will be used. Currently, the Compiler Plugin is bundled with the |
| <<<javac>>> compiler artifact with artifactId <<<plexus-compiler-javac>>>, |
| which can be seen as one of the dependencies declared inside the Compiler |
| Plugin's POM. |
| |
| Plexus have some other compiler Ids available under the groupId |
| <<<org.codehaus.plexus>>>: |
| |
| * <<<aspectj>>> with artifactId <<<plexus-compiler-aspectj>>>. |
| |
| * <<<csharp>>> with artifactId <<<plexus-compiler-csharp>>>. |
| |
| * <<<eclipse>>> with artifactId <<<plexus-compiler-eclipse>>>. |
| |
| * <<<jikes>>> with artifactId <<<plexus-compiler-jikes>>>. |
| |
| |
| * Using The Other Plexus Compilers |
| |
| To use any of the non-javac compilers, you need to make the artifact available |
| in the classpath when the Compiler Plugin runs. This is possible by adding the |
| dependency when declaring the plugin in your project's pom.xml. The example |
| below shows how to use the <<<csharp>>> compiler: |
