--------------------------------
Summary: New maven archetype for generating a template
MetExtractor project
Key: OODT-539
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/OODT-539
Project: OODT
Issue Type: New Feature
Components: cas-mvn-plugins
Affects Versions: 0.4
Reporter: Rishi Verma
Assignee: Rishi Verma
Priority: Minor
Fix For: 0.5
Create a new maven archetype for allowing developers to quickly generate
MetExtractor projects on their own.
The rationale for creating this archetype is to make it simpler and quicker to
write new met extractors. Writing new met extractors is pretty easy, but
establishing the correct maven directory structure, pom file(s), and build
cycle can be tricky. I myself often just replicate the directory structure and
pom files from other projects instead of creating/writing new met extractor
projects from scratch. This can however lead to human errors and also unwanted
code and config. Having an archetype which generates a preferred met
extractor-specific maven directory structure, pom files, and template met
extractor code would make the job of creating new custom met extractors more
consistent and automatic.
The proposed capability is the following:
1. New archetype to generate a full maven project for writing custom met
extractor(s)
2. Pre-populate generated project with template MetExtractor(s) which work
out-of-the box and make it obvious WHERE developer should add their custom
extraction code
3. Ensure generated project pom allows a build of met extractor project out of
the box
To start out, I would recommend we include an extended CmdLineMetExtractor
class which works out-of-the box. We can include more custom met extractors and
template code later.
