How to create a Mojo that controls an ANT task
Hi there guys,
I am trying to create a Maven plugin that executes a given ANT task inside
it.
My real case is to call the Hibernate Tools task to generate a bunch of ORM
classes and Hibernate mappings.
But I need to make some decisions and have to pass some parameters to the
several Hibernate Tools tasks I need to call depending on some conditions
that I need to analize in a Java Mojo.
Basically I need to:
1. Create a Mojo with some parameters and do some processing and file
generation of my own
2. Call the ANT Hibernate Tools tasks a bunch of times to generate all
my classes/mapings on several packages for several database schemas
3. Try to keep it as simple as possible to the end programmer user,
simply call a Maven plugin and state some configuration files and
destination package and let the conventioned behavior take charge.
I have created the first part easily by creating a Java Maven Plugin.
The second part I have configured like a maven-ant-plugin addition to the
POM and got it working, but this has to be copied into each of the projects
that need this goal and all the configuration I could pragmatically do have
to be typed repeatedly.
So 1 and 2 are go, 3 is what I can't find any documentation or sample to
help me.
I have seen the example from:
http://maven.apache.org/guides/plugin/guide-ant-plugin-development.html
But this is how to build a maven plugin with ANT. What I need is to build a
maven plugin in Java that can call an ant task, like antrun plugin does but
adding a few more java actions and decisions before and after.
So, how can I use the already running maven java plugin to call the ANT
tasks?
Can I call a plugin inside another plugin? How?
Should I try to extend the maven-antrun-plugin to try to accomplish this?
Thanks in advance,

Hi Pedro,
I faced a similar task and it took a while to find a plugin invoking ANT
within a Maven build - unfortunately I can't remember what plugin I
looked at (oehaus?!) but I copy&wasted to code for my Canoo WebTest plugin
http://people.apache.org/~sgoeschl/download/maven-plugins/
The code uses an AntExecutor which does the trick

i've done something along those lines with the mojo's nbm-maven-plugin. I
call a bunch of ant tasks for building netbeans modules.

Re: How to create a Mojo that controls an ANT task
Posted by Pedro Viegas <vi...@gmail.com>.
Yep, good ideia.
Although I need to have this feature in multiple projects. So I could only
do this if I created a super POM that I would use as parent for all others.
I think it is best in this scenario to create a custom plugin to get the job
done with the minimal work to the users possible.
I allready started the implementation and am working on it right now.
It will decend from the maven-anrrun-plugin AbstractAntMojo class and
provide the aditional features we need.
No need for a fork, a simple inheritance will sufice.
Thanks again.
Will post the end resut here for all who care.

Walking on water and developing software
from a specification are easy if both are

Re: How to create a Mojo that controls an ANT task
Posted by Saloucious <sa...@gmail.com>.
If you have multi-projects and a parent, a easier solution, should to add
your maven-antrun-plugin to <pluginsMagement/> tag in parent pom.xml.
As far as I know you can refer in your children pom to your
maven-antrun-plugin without redefine tasks.

Re: How to create a Mojo that controls an ANT task
Posted by Pedro Viegas <vi...@gmail.com>.
Hi there,
Thanks a bunch for your responses.
You pointed me in the right direction. I was wishing I could use the antrun
plugin resources but without having to copy-paste or in other way break
future updates of it.
I'm drilling into the plugin's source right now and will post my result as
soon as I have new information.
This plugin we're working on at my company will be open-sourced so if there
is any interest I can post here the link to the project when we finish it.
We have yet to crerate a Maven repository in our server, but even it that is
not available the Maven Generated site will have all needed information
including the source and package, until we publish the repository.
Regards,

Re: How to create a Mojo that controls an ANT task
Posted by Saloucious <sa...@gmail.com>.
Just an idea
May be you can fork maven-antrun-plugin, and instead of let plexus bind
tasks attribute, instanciate tasks attribute with an xml file embded in you
plugin artifact
I was just having a look in AntRunMojo class but i think you have to use
AntTargetConverter
This is just assumptions ...
Please keep me in touch
