Shrinkwrap Descriptor Metadata Plugin
Hi Folks
I am making great progress regarding the Descriptor Metadata plugin. This maven plugin allows to create descriptors much simpler than before. The request is based in SHRINKDESC-92 asking for a tool that allows to generate descriptors separated from the descriptor build. Thanks to Jesper for the suggestions.
The usage is fairly simple:
<plugin>
<groupId>org.jboss.shrinkwrap.descriptors</groupId>
<artifactId>shrinkwrap-descriptors-metadata-parser</artifactId>
<version>${project.version}</version>
<executions>
<execution>
<id>execution1</id>
<phase>validate</phase>
<configuration>
<verbose>true</verbose>
<path>
<pathToApi>${basedir}/src/main/java</pathToApi>
<pathToImpl>${basedir}/src/main/java</pathToImpl>
<pathToTest>${basedir}/src/test/java</pathToTest>
<pathToServices>${basedir}/src/main/resources/META-INF/services</pathToServices>
</path>
<descriptors>
<descriptor>
<pathToXsd>${basedir}/src/test/resources/xsd/ironjacamar_1_0.xsd</pathToXsd>
<nameSpace>ironjacamar</nameSpace>
<packageApi>org.jboss.ironjacamar.api</packageApi>
<packageImpl>org.jboss.ironjacamar.impl</packageImpl>
<descriptorName>IronjacamarDescriptor</descriptorName>
<elementName>ironjacamar</elementName>
<elementType>ironjacamar:ironjacamarType</elementType>
</descriptor>
</descriptors>
</configuration>
<goals>
<goal>parse</goal>
</goals>
</execution>
</executions>
</plugin>
Here are some details:
- Native supports of dtd files
- Parsing of xsd's are rewritten from ground by using DOM stuff (no xslt)
- Generating java code is still based on xslt but the plan is to replace this in the future as well. See CodeModel which is as well a fork from jaxb
- Supports xsd's in a much higher level without enhancements. Example: orm.xsd is parsed without any issues. Cool:-)
I have to continue this. Goal is to use this plugin for all descriptors we create. Stay tuned
