["Jason Dillon (JIRA)" <ji...@codehaus.org>]

Jason Dillon commented on MGROOVY-1:
------------------------------------

FYI, I've recently learned (from looking at the new groovydoc sources) how to use the existing compiler to parse out all of the details needed to generate the plugin.xml from a *.groovy source.  Might have this working by the end of the week, with Groovy 1.0 too :-)

> Right now there isn't really a good way to generate a plugin.xml for a Mojo implemented in Groovy.
> There is the {{javalike-maven-plugin-tools}} module which kinda works, though requires some icky ";" tokens to get qDox to properly parse out javadocs for parameters.  I'm not sure that this module handles annotations on super-classes either.
> I've hacked up an extractor.groovy a while ago (MNG-1664) which uses regex, but that doesn't handle super-classes either.
> Really need a nice way to parse regular groovy (w/o needing ";') to generate a plugin.xml.
