I'm trying to create and include a source feature of my plugins in the generated p2 repository. Currently, the source jars for each plugin get created, as does the source feature to each normal feature. However, those source features then don't get included in the final product, an eclipse update site.
In my parent POM, I have
<plugin>
<groupId>org.eclipse.tycho</groupId>
<artifactId>tycho-source-plugin</artifactId>
<executions>
<execution>
<id>plugin-source</id>
<goals>
<goal>plugin-source</goal>
</goals>
</execution>
</executions>
</plugin>
<plugin>
<groupId>org.eclipse.tycho.extras</groupId>
<artifactId>tycho-source-feature-plugin</artifactId>
<version>${tycho.version}</version>
<executions>
<execution>
<id>source-feature</id>
<phase>package</phase>
<goals>
<goal>source-feature</goal>
</goals>
</execution>
</executions>
</plugin>
<plugin>
<groupId>org.eclipse.tycho</groupId>
<artifactId>tycho-p2-plugin</artifactId>
<version>${tycho.version}</version>
<executions>
<execution>
<id>attach-p2-metadata</id>
<phase>package</phase>
<goals>
<goal>p2-metadata</goal>
</goals>
</execution>
</executions>
</plugin>
Do I need to add something to the POM of the feature? Of the eclipse-repository? I'm out of ideas.
Gonna answer this myself. I found a solution thanks to this article.
I had to add the generated source feature to the category.xml that describes my update site.
I had tried that before but it didn't work because I made the mistake of writing *.source.feature instead of *.feature.source.

Is it possible to get the major version (<Major>.<Minor>.<Patch>) of the project.version?
For example if my version is 1.3.4, I'd like to get 1 to later use it in a configuration of the same pom.xml
Something like:
<configuration>
<name>project_name.${project.version:major}</name>
</configuration>
If not, what are the alternatives?
Found it. The build-helper-maven-plugin has the ability to parse-out the components of the version.
<build>
<plugins>
<plugin>
<groupId>org.codehaus.mojo</groupId>
<artifactId>build-helper-maven-plugin</artifactId>
<version>1.5</version>
<executions>
<execution>
<phase>initialize</phase>
<id>parse-version</id>
<goals>
<goal>parse-version</goal>
</goals>
</execution>
</executions>
</plugin>
<plugin>
<groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId>
<artifactId>maven-antrun-plugin</artifactId>
<version>1.1</version>
<executions>
<execution>
<phase>package</phase>
<goals>
<goal>run</goal>
</goals>
<configuration>
<tasks>
<echo>[version] ${project.version}</echo>
<echo>[majorVersion] ${parsedVersion.majorVersion}</echo>
</tasks>
</configuration>
</execution>
</executions>
</plugin>
</plugins>
</build>
This works on Maven 3.3.9:
${project.artifact.selectedVersion.majorVersion}
Versions don't necessarily come in the structure you describe.
Maven has conventions for trailing numbers, but you don't have to use them.
If you have a convention that you like that you want to disassemble, you can write your own maven plugin that sets several properties to the several pieces as you define them.
I can't seem to figure this out.
I have the following in my pom.xml
<plugin>
<groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId>
<artifactId>maven-dependency-plugin</artifactId>
<version>3.1.0</version>
<executions>
<execution>
<id>copy-dependencies</id>
<phase>compile</phase>
<goals>
<goal>compile</goal>
</goals>
<configuration>
<outputDirectory>${project.build.directory}/lib</outputDirectory>
<overWriteReleases>true</overWriteReleases>
<overWriteSnapshots>true</overWriteSnapshots>
<overWriteIfNewer>true</overWriteIfNewer>
</configuration>
</execution>
</executions>
</plugin>
I plan to have all the dependencies copied to target/lib directory.
Why is not doing it?
My project is evolving, so I do not want specify each individual artifact to copy. I want it to take them all, and place it into a proper place during the "package" (or compile) phase.
I get only my mainProject.jar file in the lib folder.
Please, help. What am I missing?
The correct goal for copying dependencies is copy-dependencies, not compile. Also, if you want to invoke the plugin from the command line with mvn dependency:copy, the configuration section should not be inside the executions. Here is a configuration that should work in all cases:
<plugin>
<groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId>
<artifactId>maven-dependency-plugin</artifactId>
<version>3.1.0</version>
<executions>
<execution>
<id>copy-dependencies</id>
<phase>package</phase>
<goals>
<goal>copy-dependencies</goal>
</goals>
</execution>
</executions>
<configuration>
<outputDirectory>${project.build.directory}/lib</outputDirectory>
<overWriteReleases>true</overWriteReleases>
<overWriteSnapshots>true</overWriteSnapshots>
<overWriteIfNewer>true</overWriteIfNewer>
</configuration>
</plugin>
As you can see, I'm running the plugin in the 'package' phase, but it also works in the 'compile' phase, unless you want to include the artifact just built by your own project.
I notice that most distributions package their artifacts like
my-1.0.jar
my-1.0-sources.jar
my-1.0-documentation.jar
when I do a deploy I currently only get the my-1.0.jar how do I get the sources and documentation generated as separate jars?
I added maven-source-plugin and maven-javadoc-plugin to the build.plugins section of my parent pom.xml. Worth saying that I originally accidentally put them in pluginManagement and of course that would only work if I manually included them in the child.
<build>
<plugins>
<plugin>
<artifactId>maven-source-plugin</artifactId>
<executions>
<execution>
<id>attach-sources</id>
<goals>
<goal>jar</goal>
</goals>
</execution>
</executions>
</plugin>
<plugin>
<artifactId>maven-javadoc-plugin</artifactId>
<executions>
<execution>
<id>attach-javadocs</id>
<goals>
<goal>jar</goal>
</goals>
</execution>
</executions>
I have a multimodule Maven project. One subproject hosts XSL/XML resource files. The other project hosts Java code that needs to use these files in its unit tests.
In the dependency's jar, the resources lie in the folder xml-resources.
I found this example and tried to change it for my needs:
<plugin>
<groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId>
<artifactId>maven-dependency-plugin</artifactId>
<version>2.4</version>
<executions>
<execution>
<id>resource-dependencies</id>
<phase>process-test-resources</phase>
<goals>
<goal>unpack-dependencies</goal>
</goals>
<configuration>
<classifier>xml-resources</classifier>
<outputDirectory>${project.build.directory}/classes/xml-resources</outputDirectory>
</configuration>
</execution>
</executions>
</plugin>
This doesn't do anything when I run the process-test-resources phase. Am am sure that there are some errors in there - I do not see where I can specify the dependency the resources should be taken from, and <classifier> does not seem to actually specify the source where the resources should be copied from.
I'm lost here, can somebody tell me how to do this right?
Try something like this
<plugin>
<groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId>
<artifactId>maven-dependency-plugin</artifactId>
<version>2.4</version>
<executions>
<execution>
<id>resource-dependencies</id>
<phase>process-test-resources</phase>
<goals>
<goal>unpack-dependencies</goal>
</goals>
<configuration>
<includeArtifactIds>my-artifact-id</includeArtifactIds>
<includes>foobar.txt, loremipsum.xml</includes>
<outputDirectory>${project.build.directory}/classes/xml-resources</outputDirectory>
</configuration>
</execution>
</executions>
</plugin>
Have a look at the unpack-dependencies parameters for detailed explanation or further information.
