jabsc-maven-plugin-example

This module provides an example on how to use jabsc (ABS Compiler to Java) and jabsc-maven-plugin (Maven Plugin for jabsc).

Requirements

• Java 8
• Apache Maven 3.3.x

Getting Started

Simply fork this repository and start developing!

Configure pom.xml

Add jabsc-maven-plugin

The jabsc-maven-plugin can be configured as:

         <plugin>
            <groupId>com.github.crisposs</groupId>
            <artifactId>jabsc-maven-plugin</artifactId>
            <version>${version.jabsc-maven-plugin}</version>
            <executions>
               <execution>
                  <id>abs-compile</id>
                  <phase>generate-sources</phase>
                  <goals>
                     <goal>jabsc</goal>
                  </goals>
               </execution>
            </executions>
         </plugin>

where latest ${version.jabsc-maven-plugin} is .

Optional explicit dependencies

You can define the following dependencies explicitly in pom.xml which would override the dependencies coming from the plugin itself:

      <dependency>
         <groupId>${project.groupId}</groupId>
         <artifactId>abs-api</artifactId>
         <version>${version.abs-api}</version>
      </dependency>
      <dependency>
         <groupId>${project.groupId}</groupId>
         <artifactId>jabsc</artifactId>
         <version>${version.jabsc}</version>
      </dependency>

where latest ${version.abs-api} is and latest ${version.jabsc} is .

ABS sources

By default jabsc-maven-plugin compiles all ABS sources from src/main/abs. An example can be found at TestInterface.abs.

Maven Build Lifecycle

The jabsc-maven-plugin hooks into standard Maven life cycle at generate-sources phases. Consequently, all the generated Java files from your ABS sources will be compiled by Maven in any phase/goal that would require compiling sources.

IDE Integration

To integrate with eclipse, simply run:

$ mvn eclipse:eclipse -DdownloadSources=true

You will see a new "source folder" appearing on your eclipse project with name target/generated-sources/jabsc.
