I have couple of modules that have the following
a) A bunch of XML files
b) A custom compile time Annotation on several
java files
c) A bunch of other resources that contain snippets of the final artifact.
All these need to be processed to create a single artifact. So, right now what we have done is
a) Implement a Mojo that converts the XML to a snippet of the artifact
b) Implement an Annotation processor that generates snippets of the artifact by processing the compile time annotation
c) Implement another mojo that merges the 3 snippets together into one artifact
We have to run this process twice because there are minor differrences in the artifact that is used for
unit testing vs the artifact used for production
Everything works fine, but the problem is my pom.xml is very big. I have 2 of my own plugins and
maven processor plugin. Both of my plugins have 2 executions, one for production, one for test. Also, the final artifact is being created by 3 seperate plugins, fixing problems is kind of a pain
I wanted to merge all 3 functions into one MOJO. I can merge my 2 Mojos easily, but how do I process compile time annotations from my Mojo?. Is there a code sample available somewhere?
