oAW-M2-Plugin

Version Current version is 2.0.0

The openArchitectureWare Generator-Framework provides only an Ant-Task natively. This can used in Maven-based projects, too, but it's not the best way.

So we decide to develop a Maven2-Plugin. This plugin is fully configurable (Outlet- and Property-Configuration). The plugin is based on the oAW-Workflow component. This is the only direct dependency to the oAW Framework. The plugin is independent to the used oAW Version. Only if the Workflow component is changed a backward-incompatible version will be released. But this you read here first

Features

• Lose coupling with the oAW Framework, only dependent to the Workflow component
• Provides 8 configurable outlets by default
• Any properties you need can be configured an will be directed to the oAW Workflow component
• Extend the Compile- and Testclasspath with the outlets pointing to java resources
• Extend the resources with the outlets pointing to non-java resources
• Searching for the workflow definition in all configured resources
• Can check any resource for UptoDate checks. With this checks you can avoid unnessesary generator runs
  • With a system property you can disable this feature
• Knows all dependencies with the scope test (so all configured dependencies are in the classpath by default)
