I needed to do a bit of compiling after the process-classes phase for a
couple of custom plugins...so I pulled out the interesting parts of the
compiler mojo and used that...not sure if there is a better way, but this
certainly works..
jesse
private Compiler compiler = new JavacCompiler();
private void compile(String file) throws MojoExecutionException {
getLog().debug("outputDir " + outputDirectory);
getLog().debug("file " + file);
getLog().debug("build to " + buildDirectory);
try {
CompilerConfiguration compilerConfiguration = new CompilerConfiguration();
compilerConfiguration.setOutputLocation( buildDirectory + "/classes" );
ArrayList list = new ArrayList();
list.add(outputDirectory);
compilerConfiguration.setSourceLocations( list );
compilerConfiguration.setClasspathEntries(
project.getCompileClasspathElements() );
HashSet set = new HashSet();
set.add(new File(file));
compilerConfiguration.setSourceFiles( set );
compilerConfiguration.setDebug( true );
List messages = null;
messages = compiler.compile( compilerConfiguration );
}
catch ( Exception e )
{
e.printStackTrace();
// TODO: don't catch Exception
throw new MojoExecutionException( "Fatal error compiling", e );
}
}
