java-annotations with groovy
I am trying to use java-annotations (not javadoc) on a Mojo written in
groovy, as per [1]. (I need them so I can subclass the mojo in other,
multiple plugins, as annotations are, in theory, much easier than the Maven
2 ways of doing plugin extension).
However, the maven-plugin-plugin 3.1 does not find any of the mojo
definitions when building.
I have tried various versions of gmaven and groovy-runtime with different
failure conditions, but none of which work.
Has anyone else tried this before?
Thanks,
Ben

Re: java-annotations with groovy
Posted by Ben Tatham <be...@nanometrics.ca>.
Sorry guys, my analysis was premature. I figured out the issue (which
likely applies to java5 annotations on java mojos as well as groovy).
By default, the maven-plugin-plugin:descriptor mojo runs in the
generate-resources phase. But of course, the class files (from compile
phase) with the java-annotations are not there yet. So all I have to do is
add:
<executions>
<execution>
<id>default-descriptor</id>
<phase>process-classes</phase>
</execution>
</executions>
to my maven-plugin-plugin declaration and it works even with mvn clean
install.
Perhaps this should be updated on
http://maven.apache.org/plugin-tools/maven-plugin-plugin/examples/using-annotations.html
As well, the mvnref book is out of date:
http://www.sonatype.com/books/mvnref-book/reference/writing-plugins-sect-custom-plugin.html
which
says Maven does not support java5 annotations.
My misguided analysis before was caused by mvn install working but mvn
clean install not (when eclipse generated the class files prior to the
build).
Thanks,
Ben

Thanks - maven-plugin-plugin 2.4 didn't have java5 annotations, so it
wouldn't work there regardless. The issue seems to be the groovy compiler
since it works sometimes (when greclipse generates the class files, but not
when gmaven-plugin generates them).
For now, I'll (unfortunately) stick with javadoc annotations.

ok, I didn't know this one
IIUC, it's based on groovy-maven-plugin, which does woodoo to transform Groovy
to java plugin without maven-plugin-plugin being aware of it
If you open a Jira issue with a testcase working with maven-plugin-plugin 2.4,
I can have a look to find why it stops working with 3.1.

Hervé

It at least was possible to write a plugin in Groovy without annotations
though. See
http://www.sonatype.com/books/mcookbook/reference/writing-plugins-alternative-sect-writing-groovy.html
Not sure what happened..

Groovy isn't actually supported: see maven-script part of
http://maven.apache.org/plugin-tools/
There isn't even anybody who opened a Jira issue about this.
