Plugin Utility Class
--------------------
Key: MNG-681
URL: http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/MNG-681
Project: Maven 2
Type: New Feature
Components: maven-plugin-api
Versions: 2.0-alpha-3
Reporter: Jesse McConnell
Priority: Minor
Tryg mentioned that we might want to make a plugins utility class for some of
the issues I ran into implementing a mess of a plugin.
the plugin was pinned into the process-classes phase and generated a source
file which needed to be compiled
1) I needed to have the classes that were compiled in the compile phase in my
classpath for the plugin. my way around this was to make a URLClassLoader
pointed at the compiled classes. The classes I was processing all used one of
two interfaces and it would have been nice to have those interfaces available
to cast the new instances of the classes and call a method directly.
reflection served the purpose though
2) I needed to compile the freshly generated source file, so I ripped a mess of
code from the maven compiler plugin to achieve this
two examples of things that would be nice to have a cleaner method of achieving
the same results..if you think it is a good idea I can generalize what I did
into a couple of api's I think.
