When talking about templating I'm thinking of a known issue with the Java Language:You can't give a default implementation for an interface.You can use an abstract class, but if your class implements another interface, you still have to implement all those methods.This might be a plugin which could help here.

If added an IT-folder to the project, where you can put an example on how it should work. Just run "mvn verify" and see the result.

To sum up, I've committed today my current experimentation under the sandbox svn under the the quite pompous name templating-maven-plugin. As explained below, this plugin has (currently) only one goal that uses a directory that will be filtered and added as a maven source folder in one go. If someone has any idea/opinion about this subject, I'd be delighted to hear what you have to say. Thanks-- Baptiste(PS : I know, the current state is crappy, I'm planning to clean it up + add test. For the latter, I didn't do it yet since I'm not yet totally comfortable with how to test maven plugins, but I'll do it). ---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: Baptiste Mathus <bmat...@gmail.com> Date: 2013/1/20 Subject: Re: Using maven properties inside .java inside annotation in a clean way To: dev@mojo.codehaus.org Cc: Stephen Connolly <stephen.alan.conno...@gmail.com> Trying once more to reach the list, not convinced it's gonna work better :-/. As a follow-up, I began experimenting the idea of adding that template folder.It kind of works locally, but it's still a real mess I need to clean up before showing it anywhere. At that point, I have some questions:Should I use mojo java 5 annotations or keep using the xdoclet old-style? Seems like java5 annotations is far better but I wasn't able to find if it would tie that plugin to maven3 (I suppose it's only tying to java5, but not totally sure) Stephen already gave his opinion, so I went creating a brand new plugin at least for the moment for this. What do you others think?When something is new or uncertain, how do you guys usually proceed to get feedback? Push that onto some Github repo? attach as a zip? (meeeh), something else? Basically, the plugin.execute() does two things: create and execute a MavenResourcesFiltering on the "java-templates" to "target/javagenerated" and then add this generated source folder to the MavenProject (as simply does builder-helper-m-p/add-source) What do you think? Thanks a lot! 2013/1/18 Stephen Connolly <stephen.alan.conno...@gmail.com> I vote a new plugin On Friday, 18 January 2013, Baptiste Mathus wrote: Hi all, Having difficulties to post to this list, I try with a direct mail instead of forwarding.Moving this discussion here after some initial discussions on maven-users. Original thead: http://www.mail-archive.com/users@maven.apache.org/msg128319.html Basically, the need is to have some kind of easy filtering inside some .java files, when the properties cannot be loaded for example with standard filtering of src/main/resources because it's not allowed in parts of java code where only real constants are allowed (example: annotation attributes). To follow-up with the advice of Stephen, I guess the best place to add that would be build-helper-m-p, isn't it?Should it be a new goal or be done with something like adding a <filtering /> tag to add-source goal? Or another or new plugin? What do you think?
