How to add a plugins classes to the classpath?

[Jochen Wiedmann <jo...@gmail.com>]

Hi,

I am working on an enhanced version of the maven-jdepend-plugin. The 
plugin currently contains the following code:

     <ant:java classname="jdepend.xmlui.JDepend"
       fork="true" failonerror="true">
       <ant:arg line="-file '${maven.build.dir}/jdepend-raw-report.xml' 
'${maven.build.dest}'"/>
       <ant:classpath>
         <ant:path refid="maven-classpath"/>
         <ant:path refid="maven.dependency.classpath"/>
         <ant:pathelement path="${plugin.getDependencyPath('jdepend')}"/>
       </ant:classpath>
     </ant:java>

For several reasons, I would replace the actual JDepend class with a 
wrapper class (org.apache.maven.plugins.jdepend.Runner), which would 
support additional options and the like. Getting that class into 
maven-depend-plugin.jar is straightforward. However, the class is not 
found, when the plugin is executed.

How do I need to change the above example for adding the plugins jar 
file into the classpath?


Regards,

Jochen

Hi Jochen,

I think that you could solve that this way:

if your sources are on your main directory of the plugin, try using 
<ant:pathelement location="${plugin.dir}"/>. If they are in a 
subdirectory then follow the path from there.

best regards,

nacho
