Hello everyone, found a solution by using the MojoRule class in my test:
@Rule public MojoRule mojoRule = new MojoRule(this); My test is still a sub-class of AbstractMojoTestCase. The execution of my plugin within the test works like this: this.mojoRule.executeMojo(basedir, "plugin-name"); "basedir" is of type java.io.File and points to the folder in which the example pom.xml resides. "plugin-name" is the name of the plugin without the "-maven-plugin" suffix. Maybe this will help some others of you who face the same problem. I don't know if there is a more straight-forward method like this... Regards, Gerrit -----Ursprüngliche Nachricht----- Von: Hohl, Gerrit [mailto:g.h...@aurenz.de] Gesendet: Dienstag, 3.

The artifact maven-plugin-testing-harness offers an environment through its AbstractMojoTestCase class. After reading half of the Internet I also got it working. But now I'm stuck as it seems to ignore the annotation of my plugin. I used the Java annotations provided by the artifact maven-plugin-annotations. In the META-INF/maven/plugin.xml I see all the parameters. But when I execute my JUnit test case - which is sub-class of the AbstractMojoTestCase - I get null for all of these properties. One example for these properties of my plugin: @Parameter(defaultValue="${project}", readonly=true) private MavenProject project; Does AbstractMojoTestCase not supported Java annotations and also not read it from the plugin.xml? At least from the plugin.xml it should be able to read it, I think, because it throws an exception if that file doesn't exist. Or do I have to take some extra steps (e.g. method calls of AbstractMojoTestCase) to get them set?
