Hi,
This is a suggestion of how to create and document plugin properties easier.
- Create an xml file called properties.xml with the following DTD.
In the plugin project:
- Process it to generate the properties.xml xdoc using
<report>maven-plugin-plugin</report>
- Process it to generate the plugin.properties file, maybe in the future
there will be support for reading properties directly from it.
Here is the DTD
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1"?>
<!ELEMENT properties (
property*)>
<!ELEMENT property (#PCDATA)>
<!ATTLIST property
name CDATA #REQUIRED
default CDATA #IMPLIED ""
required (true|false) #IMPLIED "false"
>
And an example
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1"?>
<!DOCTYPE properties SYSTEM "properties.dtd">
<properties>
<property name="maven.aspectj.debug" default="false">
If true, run in debug mode
</property>
</properties>
What do you think?
