I have a multi module eclipse RCP Application. We are building the application through maven tycho. The build is creating successfully.
In the build folder i have the usual plugins folder which contains all the plugins(both jar packaging and directory packaging) in the project.
The plugins contains timestamp in it.Is there any way to remove the timestamp from the plugin while building. currently it is plugin.name_1.0.0.20200211.jar but i want the plugin to be plugin.name_1.0.0.jar
Adding a format tag did the trick for me. Pom file snippet is attached.
<plugin>
<groupId>org.eclipse.tycho</groupId>
<artifactId>tycho-packaging-plugin</artifactId>
<version>${tycho-version}</version>
<configuration>
<format>''</format>
</configuration>
</plugin>

What is the correct way to use a maven jar file in my xtext dsl project?
What I have tried is this:
use the maven-dependency-plugin in the pom.xml file of the *.dsl project to download the .jar file from a maven repository into the ./lib/ directory. This is done as early as possible in the build process: in the maven validate phase
in MANIFEST.MF: add the jar to the classpath: e.g. Bundle-ClassPath: ., lib/value-2.5.6-annotations.jar
in build.properties: add it to the bin.includes
The problem is, that the build only works when I call mvn install twice.
The first time, the .jar file is downloaded to the lib directory as expected (early in the build process), but then the build fails because it cannot resolve the types in my jar file.
When I then run mvn install again (the .jar file now already exists in the lib directory before the build), it works fine.
Any ideas how to resolve this?
Short answer
Currently it does not work as expected, because of bugs in Tycho
#353889: Defer target&dependency resolution to the normal build
#393978 maven-dependency-plugin:copy-dependencies goal does not work reliably with Tycho projects - "error copying ....jar.jar"
Long answer
Here is what I did to make it work (for now) in the xxx.dsl project:
pom.xml file
I use the maven-dependency-plugin to download the jar file in the maven validate phase (as early in the build as possible) to the lib directory.
Note, that I use stripVersion=true so that the file in the lib dir is called value-annotations.jar (and not value-2.5.6-annotations.jar). If I ever want to update the version in the future, I only need to update it in one place in the pom.xml file.
The jar file must also be specified as a dependency, because otherwise the users of the dsl plugin cannot build the project: i.e. the generateXtext task of the xtext-gradle-plugin will fail because it cannot find the classes in the jar file.
Relevant pom.xml code:
<project ...>
<properties>
<xtextVersion>2.13.0</xtextVersion>
<immutablesVersion>2.5.6</immutablesVersion>
...
</properties>
<build>

META-INF/MANIFEST.MF file
Add the jar file to the Bundle-ClassPath, so that we can use it: e.g. in the DslJvmModelInferrer.xtend
Add the package of the jar file to Export-Package, so that these files can be accessed by the xxx.dsl.tests project
Relevant parts of MANIFEST.MF:
Bundle-ClassPath: ., lib/value-annotations.jar
Export-Package: xxx.xtext,
...
xxx.xtext.validation,
org.immutables.value
build.properties file
Add the jar file to the bin.includes so that it will be copied to the generated jar file (in the target directory):
bin.includes=model/generated/,\
.,\
META-INF/,\
lib/value-annotations.jar,\
plugin.xml
Build
Now the build works in Eclipse.
On the command line (and in my continuous integration server script), I must execute maven twice (because of the mentioned bugs):
mvn verify (to download the jars)
mvn install
I am regularly deploying a Maven project to a Tomcat server, using Travis CI. My project is a web app, so I have configured my pom.xml for building a WAR file, instead of a JAR:
...
<packaging>war</packaging>
...
With Maven, I can generate a directory containing all the JavaDoc files for my project; Maven puts them in the target/site/apidocs directory. But then, when I deploy my project, Travis doesn't perform any mvn site phase so I don't have my JavaDocs on the server.
Should I edit my pom.xml so that Maven puts the JavaDoc files somewhere in the src directory (instead of target) or is there a way to package the JavaDoc files together with the WAR file? I thought that I could create a docs/ directory inside src/main/webapp/. Specifically: is it "good practice" to generate my JavaDoc in src instead of target? if not, how can I have a WAR file containing my JavaDoc?
What would you suggest is the best thing to do?
I already know how to generate a standalone JAR containing my JavaDoc files (see here), but this is not what I'm looking for.
Use the site plugin https://maven.apache.org/plugins/maven-site-plugin/ and the javdoc plugin https://maven.apache.org/plugins/maven-javadoc-plugin/usage.html.
Add the following to your pom.xml
<reporting>
<plugins>
<plugin>
<groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId>
<artifactId>maven-javadoc-plugin</artifactId>
<configuration>
<links>
<link>http://commons.apache.org/lang/api</link>
<link>http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.5.0/docs/api</link>
<link>http://this-one-will-not-work</link>
</links>
</configuration>
</plugin>
</plugins>
</reporting>
then mvn site:site your documentation will be in target/site you can also deploy it.
I am writing a maven plugin which generates java source code based on input text file and some additional configuration.
e.g. User creates maven project and adds my plugin in his project's pom.xml as below -
<plugin>
<groupId>abc.plugin</groupId>
<artifactId>abc-maven-plugin</artifactId>
<version>1.0.0</version>
<executions>
<execution>
<goals>
<goal>abc</goal>
</goals>
</execution>
</executions>
<configuration>
<schemaPath>${basedir}\input</schemaPath>
<package>com.svc.xyz</package>
<fileNametxt>${basedir}\input.txt</fileNametxt>
</configuration>
</plugin>
As part of executing the goal of my plugin, i would like the plugin delete all the pre existing java source files/directories in user's project as well as rewrite pom.xml of user project.Plugin should regenerate user project's pom.xml taking existing contents and also keep some other existing user project resources like schema Directory.
Also,I don't want user of plugin to do any editing after generation of source code and would prefer to directly 'compile package' the generated source code in user project by the plugin.
Since plugin will regenerate users' pom.xml itself, may be need to create a new maven project altogether with generated source code, compile, package and have jar created?
What I am trying to do, is to obfuscate a certain packages in a multi module application, before it gets installed to my local repository, so that the final package will be an EAR file which contains obfuscated jars.
I tried to obfuscate the jars during EAR building process without success. Now i want to build the EAR with obfuscated jars instead ob obfuscating then during the build.
So I've got the following plugin configuration:
<plugin>
<groupId>com.github.wvengen</groupId>
<artifactId>proguard-maven-plugin</artifactId>
<version>2.0.11</version>
<dependencies>
<dependency>
<groupId>net.sf.proguard</groupId>
<artifactId>proguard-base</artifactId>
<version>${version.proguard}</version>
</dependency>
</dependencies>
<executions>
<execution>
<phase>process-classes</phase>
<goals>
<goal>proguard</goal>
</goals>
</execution>
</executions>
<configuration>
...
</configuration>
</plugin>
So there are two problems for me:
Progruard always runs after the install phase, so that the EAR build always gets the not obfuscated jars
I always have to add proguard:proguard to the maven command, which of course fails in a multi module project where some modules don't have to be obfuscated
So my questions:
How can I obfuscate the package before it gets installed?
How can I make plugins like this one run on default without adding <phase>:<goal> to the maven call?
Thnx.
It seems that for the proguard plugin to work, JAR files are needed. Perhaps you can achieve this by attaching the proguard plugin's proguard goal to the package phase (and not process-classes phase) of the default Maven build life cycle as proposed here by Alexey Shmalko. It's not clear to me if you are using the maven-shade-plugin, but if you are, then place the proguard plugin configuration your in pom.xml after that of maven-shade-plugin (this is because both these plugin attach to the same phase: package).
My expectation is that since package phase is achieved before install phase, it should give you the effect you are looking for.

Doesn't generate Javadoc while running goal as maven javadoc:javadoc because the source is not available in a maven project. Can I pass the svn url directly?
The source code for which i want to generate javadoc is not maven project.so externally i had created maven project ,in that project i need to generate javadoc
Firstly , you do NOT need a maven project to generate source code for any project whatsoever.
As the source is not available in maven project.I am passing directly svn url
Why are you passing the SVN url here ? Since it is now a maven project, simply specify the path to the source folder of the project ( which I believe will be ${base.dir}/src/main/java )
