Plugin needs to implement MavenReport

• Key: XBEAN-72
• Type: New Feature
• Status: Open
• Priority: Major
• Assignee: Unassigned
• Reporter: Kohsuke Kawaguchi
• Component/s: maven-plugin
• Affects Version/s: 2.8

Description

The HTML files that the maven-xbean-plugin generates are very useful inside the site HTML files.

If the plugin provides MavenReport, then this could happen automatically.

Comments

I don't know how to do this, but if you can point me in the right direction I will attempt to add it. Alternative, you could supply a patch

Generate a xbean report.
To add the report to the site generation you need to add it in the reporting section of your pom, e.g.

<reporting>
<plugins>
<plugin>
<groupId>org.apache.xbean</groupId>
<artifactId>maven-xbean-plugin</artifactId>
<version>3.6-SNAPSHOT</version>
</plugin>
</plugins>
</reporting>

To have report generation working you'll need to have also applied the path from the sub task https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/XBEAN-124 at the xben-spring module.

Hope it's what wanted and usable.

Maybe some usefull links which helped me about report generation:

The wiki page:

A sample report:

Some improvements against my first diff

• add some docu for site generation
• use less hardcoded paths but the ones used/defined for maven in general (like src-/build directory)
• make GeneratorPlugin configurable -> Exept some mandatory plugins (Xsd, XmlMeta) the plugins are now configurable by adding a comma seperated list to the configuration section of the maven-xbean-plugin configuration section in the pom. Custom GeneratorPlugins must implement the GeneratorPlugin interface and be avaliable in the classpath. For default configuration see also the generated site (cd maven-xbean-plugin, mvn site)
