Robert Scholte commented on MNG-6734:
-------------------------------------
I think the title needs to be rephrased, because it is not about sources being
added to the classpath, but some unrelated classes. There are more usecases
where one want to build extra code as part of project.
One of the ideas I have is to allow <modules> in {{jar}} and other packaging
projects. These modules won't the distributed (can't install or deploy), but
are there to help the module. It seems like this issue would fit here as well.
> Ability to add Java sources to plugins classpath from .mvn directory
> --------------------------------------------------------------------
>
> Key: MNG-6734
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MNG-6734
> Project: Maven
> Issue Type: New Feature
> Components: core
> Reporter: Abel Salgado Romero
> Priority: Minor
>
> In plugins like
> [asciidoctor-maven-plugin|https://github.com/asciidoctor/asciidoctor-maven-plugin]
> it is possible to add Java Asciidoctor extensions and other customizations
> to the conversion process.
> These need to be available to the asciidoctor-maven-plugin classpath and due
> to how maven manages plugin's dependencies, this means that users need to
> publish these extension in a maven repo or create multi-module projects like
> in this example
> https://github.com/asciidoctor/asciidoctor-maven-examples/tree/master/java-extension-example.
> This is cumbersome and a bit of overkill when some users just want to add a
> single class.
> So, I wonder if would make sense to be able to add Java sources in the ".mvn"
> directory that are compiled and added to the classpath so that maven plugins
> can use them.
> Ideally, to avoid classpath issues, I'd like to be able to tell which plugins
> use the code, maybe with an XML descriptor or some directory convention.
