maven plugin

["HEAD-RAPSON, David" <HR...@BUPA.com>]

Hi,
I wonder if someone can help me. It's regarding a new maven plugin I'm
writing.
 
I'm using Maven and Jelly to execute a Java command as part of our build
process. Following that I wish to execute an ant command, but I need an
argument from the java. Ideally I'd like to know how to return a value from
a call to a defined java class. I've written the java class and its being
called correctly but I've no idea how to use the return value.
Here's the method spec:
 
public class Release {
      public String makeRelease() {}
...
}
 
And I'm using the following in my plugin.jelly to call it.
 
<goal name="bupa:make-release">
      
            <j:jelly xmlns:j="jelly:core" xmlns:define="jelly:define"
xmlns:release="releaseTagLib">
 
                  <define:taglib uri="releaseTagLib">
                  <define:jellybean name="rel" method="makeRelease"
className="com.bupa.maven.plugin.release.Release"/>
                  </define:taglib>
 
<release:rel artifactId="${pom.artifactId}"
currentVersion="${pom.currentVersion}" dependencies="${pom.dependencies}"
pomExtension="${pom.extend}"/>
 
            </j:jelly>
 
            <!- I want to call the ant method here with an argument returned
from the Java method-->
      </goal>
 
Can anyone help at all?
 
Thanks in advance
Dave

I think what you're looking for is the jelly useBean and invoke tags...
