This guide is intended to assist users in developing Java plugins for Maven 2.0.
本指南旨在帮助用户在 Maven 2.0 开发 Java 插件。
You will typically name your plugin <yourplugin>-maven-plugin.
通常这样命名你的插件 <yourplugin>-maven-plugin.
Calling it maven-<yourplugin>-plugin (note "Maven" is at the beginning of the plugin name) is strongly discouraged since it's a reserved naming pattern for official Apache Maven plugins maintained by the Apache Maven team with groupId org.apache.maven.plugins. Using this naming pattern is an infringement of the Apache Maven Trademark.
命名为 maven-<yourplugin>-plugin (注意“Maven”是插件名称的开头)是强烈反对的,因为它是由Apache Maven团队与groupld org.apache.maven.plugins保持的官方的Apache Maven Plugin保留的命名模式。使用这个命名模式Apache Maven商标的侵权。
In this section we will build a simple plugin which takes no parameters and simply displays a message on the screen when run. Along the way, we will cover the basics of setting up a project to create a plugin, the minimal contents of a Java mojo, and a couple ways to execute the mojo.
在本节中,我们将在本节中,我们将构建一个简单的插件,它不带任何参数,只是在运行时在屏幕上显示一条消息。接下来,我们将讨论建立一个项目,创建一个插件,内容最少的Java mojo和如何执行。
At its simplest, a Java mojo consists simply of a single class. There is no requirement for multiple classes like EJBs, although a plugin which contains a number of similar mojos is likely to use an abstract superclass for the mojos to consolidate code common to all mojos.
简单来说,Java mojo只是个独立的类。尽管插件包含大量类似的mojos,可使用抽象的超类mojos来定义共用的mojos代码。
When processing the source tree to find mojos, plugin-tools looks for classes with either @Mojo Java 5 annotation or "goal" javadoc annotation. Any class with this annotation are included in the plugin configuration file.
通过源码树去找到mojos,插件工具查找类的方式有2种,”@Mojo” Java 5的注解或”@goal“ javadoc的注解,任何有这个注解的类都包含在插件配置文件中。
Listed below is a simple mojo class which has no parameters. This is about as simple as a mojo can be. After the listing is a description of the various parts of the source.
下面是一个无参的简单Mojo类。只需要一个mojo即可。在这个之后是别的功能的介绍。
package sample.plugin;
import org.apache.maven.plugin.AbstractMojo;
import org.apache.maven.plugin.MojoExecutionException;
import org.apache.maven.plugins.annotations.Mojo;
/
Says "Hi" to the user.
*/
@Mojo( name = "sayhi")
public class GreetingMojo extends AbstractMojo
{
public void execute() throws MojoExecutionException
{
getLog().info( "Hello, world." );
}
}
All Mojo annotations are described by the Mojo API Specification.
所有的Mojo注解的描述,点击Mojo API说明查看。
Once the mojos have been written for the plugin, it is time to build the plugin. To do this properly, the project's descriptor needs to have a number of settings set properly:
groupId | This is the group ID for the plugin, and should match the common prefix to the packages used by the mojos |
artifactId | This is the name of the plugin |
version | This is the version of the plugin |
packaging | This should be set to "maven-plugin" |
dependencies | A dependency must be declared to the Maven Plugin Tools API to resolve "AbstractMojo" and related classes |
Listed below is an illustration of the sample mojo project's pom with the parameters set as described in the above table:
mojo项目的pom配置如下:
<project>
<modelVersion>4.0.0</modelVersion>
<groupId>sample.plugin</groupId>
<artifactId>hello-maven-plugin</artifactId>
<version>1.0-SNAPSHOT</version>
<packaging>maven-plugin</packaging>
<name>Sample Parameter-less Maven Plugin</name>
<dependencies>
<dependency>
<groupId>org.apache.maven</groupId>
<artifactId>maven-plugin-api</artifactId>
<version>3.0</version>
</dependency>
<!-- dependencies to annotations -->
<dependency>
<groupId>org.apache.maven.plugin-tools</groupId>
<artifactId>maven-plugin-annotations</artifactId>
<version>3.4</version>
<scope>provided</scope>
</dependency>
</dependencies>
</project>
There are few goals which are defined with the maven-plugin packaging as part of a standard build lifecycle:
Maven插件的打包,几个标准构建的生命周期:
compile | Compiles the Java code for the plugin and builds the plugin descriptor |
test | Runs the plugin's unit tests |
package | Builds the plugin jar |
install | Installs the plugin jar in the local repository |
deploy | Deploys the plugin jar to the remote repository |
<build>
<plugins>
<plugin>
<groupId>sample.plugin</groupId>
<artifactId>hello-maven-plugin</artifactId>
<version>1.0-SNAPSHOT</version>
</plugin>
</plugins>
</build>
而且,你需要指定可用的goal,格式如下:
mvn groupId:artifactId:version:goal
Tips: version is not required to run a standalone goal.
提示:运行一个单独的goal,version不是必须的。
有几种方法来减少输入命令行的长度。
<pluginGroups>
<pluginGroup>sample.plugin</pluginGroup>
</pluginGroups>
At this point, you can run the mojo with "mvn hello:sayhi".
这样,你就可以用"mvn hello:sayhi"来运行了。
你还可以配置指定的goals在mvn构建的特定阶段,下面是例子:
<build>
<plugins>
<plugin>
<groupId>sample.plugin</groupId>
<artifactId>hello-maven-plugin</artifactId>
<version>1.0-SNAPSHOT</version>
<executions>
<execution>
<phase>compile</phase>
<goals>
<goal>sayhi</goal>
</goals>
</execution>
</executions>
</plugin>
</plugins>
</build>
This causes the simple mojo to be executed whenever Java code is compiled. For more information on binding a mojo to phases in the lifecycle, please refer to the Build Lifecycle document.
每当Java代码执行compile就会调用mojo。点击查看更多结合不同的mvn生命周期的信息。
mvn archetype:generate \
-DgroupId=sample.plugin \
-DartifactId=hello-maven-plugin \
-DarchetypeGroupId=org.apache.maven.archetypes \
-DarchetypeArtifactId=maven-archetype-plugin
/
The greeting to display. /
@Parameter( property = "sayhi.greeting", defaultValue = "Hello World!" )
private String greeting;
The portion before the annotations is the description of the parameter. The parameter annotation identifies the variable as a mojo parameter. The defaultValue parameter of the annotation defines the default value for the variable. This value can include expressions which reference the project, such as "${project.version}" (more can be found in the "Parameter Expressions" document). The property parameter can be used to allow configuration of the mojo parameter from the command line by referencing a system property that the user sets via the -D option.
注解之前的部分是参数的描述,注解标识这个变量作为mojo的参数。注解的默认参数值定义为变量的默认值,该值可包含引用该项目的表达式,如”${project.version}”(更多可以在“参数表达式”文档中找到)。该属性参数允许通过命令行来引用配置系统属性,通过-D。
<plugin>
<groupId>sample.plugin</groupId>
<artifactId>hello-maven-plugin</artifactId>
<version>1.0-SNAPSHOT</version>
<configuration>
<greeting>Welcome</greeting>
</configuration>
</plugin>
配置部分里,元素(“greeting”)是参数名,元素的内容的值是(“Welcome”)。

Listed below are the various types of simple variables which can be used as parameters in your mojos, along with any rules on how the values in the POM are interpreted.
下面是不同类型的参数变量的例子。
This includes variables typed boolean and Boolean. When reading the configuration, the text "true" causes the parameter to be set to true and all other text causes the parameter to be set to false. Example:
/
My boolean. /
@Parameter
private boolean myBoolean;
<myBoolean>true</myBoolean>
This includes variables typed byte, Byte, int, Integer, long, Long, short, and Short. When reading the configuration, the text in the XML file is converted to an integer value using either Integer.parseInt() or the valueOf() method of the appropriate class. This means that the strings must be valid decimal integer values, consisting only of the digits 0 to 9 with an optional - in front for a negative value. Example:
/
My Integer. /
@Parameter
private Integer myInteger;
<myInteger>10</myInteger>
This includes variables typed double, Double, float, and Float. When reading the configuration, the text in the XML file is converted to binary form using the valueOf() method for the appropriate class. This means that the strings can take on any format specified in section 3.10.2 of the Java Language Specification. Some samples of valid values are 1.0 and 6.02E+23.
/
My Double. /
@Parameter
private Double myDouble;
<myDouble>1.0</myDouble>
This includes variables typed Date. When reading the configuration, the text in the XML file is converted using one of the following date formats: "yyyy-MM-dd HH:mm:ss.S a" (a sample date is "2005-10-06 2:22:55.1 PM") or "yyyy-MM-dd HH:mm:ssa" (a sample date is "2005-10-06 2:22:55PM"). Note that parsing is done using DateFormat.parse() which allows some leniency in formatting. If the method can parse a date and time out of what is specified it will do so even if it doesn't exactly match the patterns above. Example:
/
My Date. /
@Parameter
private Date myDate;
<myDate>2005-10-06 2:22:55.1 PM</myDate>
This includes variables typed File. When reading the configuration, the text in the XML file is used as the path to the desired file or directory. If the path is relative (does not start with / or a drive letter like C:), the path is relative to the directory containing the POM. Example:
/
My File. /
@Parameter
private File myFile;
<myFile>c:\temp</myFile>
This includes variables typed URL. When reading the configuration, the text in the XML file is used as the URL. The format must follow the RFC 2396 guidelines, and looks like any web browser URL (scheme://host:port/path/to/file). No restrictions are placed on the content of any of the parts of the URL while converting the URL.
/
My URL. /
@Parameter
private URL myURL;
<myURL>https://maven.apache.org</myURL>
This includes variables typed char, Character, StringBuffer, and String. When reading the configuration, the text in the XML file is used as the value to be assigned to the parameter. For char and Character parameters, only the first character of the text is used.
Enumeration type parameters can also be used. First you need to define your enumeration type and afterwards you can use the enumeration type in the parameter definition:
public enum Color {
GREEN,
RED,
BLUE
}
/
My Enum /
@Parameter
private Color myColor;
<myColor>GREEN</myColor>
public enum Color {
GREEN,
RED,
BLUE
}
/
My Enum /
@Parameter(defaultValue = "GREEN")
private Color myColor;
Listed below are the various types of composite objects which can be used as parameters in your mojos, along with any rules on how the values in the POM are interpreted. In general, the class of the object created to hold the parameter value (as well as the class for each element within the parameter value) is determined as follows (the first step which yields a valid class is used):
Once the type for the element is defined, the text in the XML file is converted to the appropriate type of object
Array type parameters are configured by specifying the parameter multiple times. Example:
/
My Array. /
@Parameter
private String[] myArray;
<myArray>
<param>value1</param>
<param>value2</param>
</myArray>
This category covers any class which implements java.util.Collection such as ArrayList or HashSet. These parameters are configured by specifying the parameter multiple times just like an array. Example:
/
My List. /
@Parameter
private List myList;
<myList>
<param>value1</param>
<param>value2</param>
</myList>
This category covers any class which implements java.util.Map such as HashMap but does not implement java.util.Properties. These parameters are configured by including XML tags in the form <key>value</key> in the parameter configuration. Example:
/
My Map. /
@Parameter
private Map myMap;
<myMap>
<key1>value1</key1>
<key2>value2</key2>
</myMap>
This category covers any map which implements java.util.Properties. These parameters are configured by including XML tags in the form <property><name>myName</name> <value>myValue</value> </property> in the parameter configuration. Example:
/
My Properties. /
@Parameter
private Properties myProperties;
<myProperties>
<property>
<name>propertyName1</name>
<value>propertyValue1</value>
<property>
<property>
<name>propertyName2</name>
<value>propertyValue2</value>
<property>
</myProperties>
This category covers any class which does not implement java.util.Map, java.util.Collection, or java.util.Dictionary. Example:
/* My Object.
*/
@Parameter
private MyObject myObject;
<myObject>
<myField>test</myField>
</myObject>
You are not restricted to using private field mapping which is good if you are trying to make you Mojos resuable outside the context of Maven. Using the example above we could name our private fields using the underscore convention and provide setters that the configuration mapping mechanism can use. So our Mojo would look like the following:
public class MyQueryMojo
extends AbstractMojo
{
@Parameter(property="url")
private String _url;
@Parameter(property="timeout")
private int _timeout;
@Parameter(property="options")
private String[] _options;
public void setUrl( String url )
{
_url = url;
}
public void setTimeout( int timeout )
{
_timeout = timeout;
}
public void setOptions( String[] options )
{
_options = options;
}
public void execute()
throws MojoExecutionException
{
...
}
