Mojos in languages other than Java
Hi,
I am trying to write a mojo in Groovy. According to the mojo api docs
[1] this should be possible (it only meantions BeanShell explicitly).
However when I package my mojo the resulting plugin.xml is incorrect
showing now mojos. Consequently when I try and run the plugin a
NullPointer is thrown. I have tried writing my own plugin.xml and
manually placing it in src/main/resources/META-INF/maven/ but when
package is run it os overridden by the Maven generated one. I am
assuming Maven reads the annotations from *.java source files and
ignoring my *.groovy files (which I am compiling down to *.class before
packaging).
Has anyone written a mojo in a language other than Java, or is there any
documentation on doing so?
Thanks,
Martin.

I managed to successfully create and run mojos written in Groovy. I have
chronicled my findings here
http://www.martingilday.org/articles/Groovy+Maven+Mojos.
Hopefully this will be useful to someone.
Cheers,
Martin Gilday.

Any chances you may formalize your findings in a similar fashion with
the
ruby doc :-) I, for one, would find it useful...

If I get anywhere I will :)
Eric I had a look at the JRuby guide. I do not think I can simply
substitute in the groovy-maven-plugin. I have asked Jeff Genender (its
creator) and he says it does not support this. Looking at the jruby
plugin it seems I would need to extend
AbstractScriptedMojoDescriptorExtractor.
I also found this http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/MNG-1664 which I think
might have been what Jason was referring to?

Re: Mojos in languages other than Java

Thanks for the pointers. There doesn't seem to be any instructions with
the groovy-maven-plugin as there are with the jruby one. Looking in the
source of it there does not appear to be an equivalent of RubyMojo. I
might take this to the mojo mailing list.
Thanks again,
Martin.

I'm not sure anyone has actually used the Groovy Component Factory in
Plexus. I think Jeff Genender made another infrastructure for writing
Groovy plugins. I know Plexus components can be written in Groovy,
not sure if anyone has tried the native plexus way for actually

Managed to get it working. Had to change packaging from maven-plugin
back to jar, so I can now write my own plugin.xml.
Still not ideal as lose the benefit of it being generated from
annotations. So if any one has a way of doing that it would be
apprecitated.
Thanks,
Martin.

Subject: Mojos in languages other than Java
Hi,
I am trying to write a mojo in Groovy. According to the mojo api docs
[1] this should be possible (it only meantions BeanShell explicitly).
However when I package my mojo the resulting plugin.xml is incorrect
showing now mojos. Consequently when I try and run the plugin a
NullPointer is thrown. I have tried writing my own plugin.xml and
manually placing it in src/main/resources/META-INF/maven/ but when
package is run it os overridden by the Maven generated one. I am
assuming Maven reads the annotations from *.java source files and
ignoring my *.groovy files (which I am compiling down to *.class before
packaging).
Has anyone written a mojo in a language other than Java, or is there any
documentation on doing so?
Thanks,
Martin.
