We are successfully using the generate goal in our project with several
other modules, and it works as part of the full build. However, ours is
configured quite differently from what I've seen other places.
To help prevent developers from checking in generated code, our flex-model
module places generated sources under target rather than src/main/flex. We
have a maven-antrun-plugin configuration which copies the contents of
src/main/flex to target/src/as3 before flexmojos:generate runs. This allows
us to version, under src/main/flex, any generated file that we have
customized (non-base, since those are always regenerated), but keeps all of
the generated sources in a directory which is ignored for version control.
Our configuration looks like this. First, we have properties for all of the
directories in play:
<properties>
<generatedBaseSourceDirectory>${project.build.directory}/src/base</generatedBaseSourceDirectory>
<generatedSourceDirectory>${project.build.directory}/src/as3</generatedSourceDirectory>
<versionedSourceDirectory>src/main/flex</versionedSourceDirectory>
</properties>
Next, the <build/> element has sourceDirectory and testSourceDirectory
defined:
<sourceDirectory>${generatedSourceDirectory}</sourceDirectory>
<testSourceDirectory>src/test/flex</testSourceDirectory>
Followed by our plugins. maven-antrun-plugin comes first, since it needs to
copy the files we've modified:
<plugin>
<groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId>
<artifactId>maven-antrun-plugin</artifactId>
<version>1.3</version>
<executions>
<execution>
<id>copy-sources</id>
<phase>generate-sources</phase>
<goals>
<goal>run</goal>
</goals>
<configuration>
<tasks>
<copy overwrite="true"
todir="${generatedSourceDirectory}">
<fileset
dir="${versionedSourceDirectory}"/>
</copy>
</tasks>
</configuration>
</execution>
</executions>
</plugin>
As you can see, this copies any files/directories from the
versionedSourceDirectory (src/main/flex) to the generatedSourceDirectory
(target/src/as3).
That is followed by configuration for the flexmojos-maven-plugin:
<plugin>
<groupId>org.sonatype.flexmojos</groupId>
<artifactId>flexmojos-maven-plugin</artifactId>
<version>${flex.mojos.version}</version>
<extensions>true</extensions>
<configuration>
<sourcePaths>
<path>${generatedSourceDirectory}</path>
<path>${generatedBaseSourceDirectory}</path>
</sourcePaths>
<storepass/>
</configuration>
<executions>
<execution>
<goals>
<goal>generate</goal>
</goals>
<configuration>
<baseOutputDirectory>${generatedBaseSourceDirectory}</baseOutputDirectory>
<extraOptions>
<as3typefactory>com.company.granite.EnhancedAs3TypeFactory</as3typefactory>
<transformer>com.company.granite.EnhancedGroovyTransformer</transformer>
</extraOptions>
<generatorToUse>graniteds21</generatorToUse>
<includeJavaClasses>
<javaClass/>
</includeJavaClasses>
<outputDirectory>${generatedSourceDirectory}</outputDirectory>
<templates>
<base-bean-template>${project.basedir}/gsp/beanBase.gsp</base-bean-template>
<base-entity-template>${project.basedir}/gsp/entityBase.gsp</base-entity-template>
<base-remote-template>${project.basedir}/gsp/remoteBase.gsp</base-remote-template>
<bean-template>${project.basedir}/gsp/bean.gsp</bean-template>
<entity-template>${project.basedir}/gsp/entity.gsp</entity-template>
<interface-template>${project.basedir}/gsp/interface.gsp</interface-template>
<remote-template>${project.basedir}/gsp/remote.gsp</remote-template>
</templates>
</configuration>
</execution>
</executions>
</plugin>
So, several things I'll point out here. First, we're not using ${basedir}
anywhere; we use ${project.basedir}, which seems to create the correct
paths. Also, notice that the <sourcePaths/> is configured at the
*plugin* level,
not the *execution* level (Velo: I know this is not the preferred approach,
so I'm very interested if you have any suggestions on how we could not use
<sourcePaths/> here but still be able to use this layout). We're using
(highly) customized GSPs (remote-template, in 3.x, can only be set in
<templates/>, so we're setting them all that way), AS3 type factory and
Groovy transformer.
This layout is a bit more work, in the poms, but the developers on the team
really like it. It makes it very simple for them to differentiate between
what should be added to Subversion and what should not. If they customize a
generated file, they copy it to src/main/flex. This layout works correctly
for Maven, FlexBuilder 3, FlashBuilder 4 and IntelliJ 8.1 and 9.
I hope this has some snippets that might help you figure out what's amiss.
