generate src with XSLT
Hi all,
I'm evaluating Maven for an existing Ant built project in our company.
I'm doing so, basically, by just starting to use it.
Our project uses sources generated with XSLT that have to be generated
before all the other sources are compiled because they are dependent on
it. Is there a default goal that can do this for me or do I have to use
a <preGoal name="java:compile"> in maven.xml to generate the sources
myself?
Thanks and regards,
Jeroen

You can't have two <sourceDirectory/> elements in project.xml.

Thanks, this sure does!

Hi,
Standard advice for doing things like this is to find a plugin that does
something similar and understand that then apply as required. For what you
are doing, look at antlr, castor, javacc plugins. I recommend concentrating
on the antlr one - its pretty clear.
The essential thing is to keep the generated sources separate from the
normal source (for tidyness and ease of source control), so adhere to the
norm of placing the generated source under the build directory, even
something like ${maven.build.dir}/generated-srcs/mygenname would be better,
and have the xslt and xml somewhere under src, e.g. src/main/mygennamexml
and src/main/mygennamexslt
In order to get java:compile to compile your two sets of source at the same
time, you need to understand the java:compile goal. The java:compile goal
uses an ant pathset variable called "maven.compile.src.set" and compiles
java files on that path set. This can be done with the following two lines
which must be executed before java:compile.
<ant:path id="maven.mygenname.compile.src.set"
location="${maven.build.dir}/generated-srcs/mygenname"/>
<maven:addPath id="maven.compile.src.set"
refid="maven.mygenname.compile.src.set"/>
Hope that helps,
Kris.

The generated sources and other sources are dependant on each other, right
now I can't even get them to compile using two <sourceDirectory/> elements.
Would it be possible to see them as separate projects?
Thanks and regards,
Jeroen

You could generate the sources in a java:compile preGoal as you
mention, or you could generate them in a subproject that the rest of
your project depends upon. I've done it both ways, but prefer the
subproject route because it seems cleaner / more modular to me.
I'm not sure if there are any Maven plugins to handle XSLT, but you
can use the jelly:jsl tag lib.
