[m2] Defining Custom Compiler in POM

["Stevenson, Chris" <Ch...@DrKW.com>]

Dear All,
 
Does anyone know how to specify a custom compiler in the pom of a project
that wishes to use it? 
 
Am i correct in thinking that to make plexus/maven aware of a custom
compiler I need to:
 
a) Define a role/component in the components.xml of the compiler so that
plexus can find it?
 
<component-set>
  <components>
    <component>
      <role>org.codehaus.plexus.compiler.Compiler</role>
      <role-hint>mycustomcompiler</role-hint>
      <implementation>uk.co.blah.blah.compiler.CompilerImpl</implementation>

    </component>
  </components>
</component-set>
 
b) add a reference to my compiler as a dependency? (can Ijust add it as a
normal dep?)
 
c) tell maven to use my compiler instead of the defaul javac (this is the
real corker...)
 
Any help much appreciated.

1) put the components bit in components.xml for your compiler JAR
2) add your jar as a dependency within the compiler plugin element in build
3) add the compilerId configuration to the compiler plugin

So, untested, but something like this:

<plugin>
  <artifactId>maven-compiler-plugin</artifactId>
  <configuration>
    <compilerId>mycustomcompiler</compilerId>
  </configuration>
  <dependencies>
    <dependency>
      <groupId>com.mycompany</groupId>
      <artifactId>my-custom-compiler</artifactId>
      <version>1.0-SNAPSHOT</version>
    </dependency>
  </dependencies>
</plugin>

HTH,
Brett
