How to write a plugin that generates source files based on the source in the project?
Hi I'm trying to write a plugin which does the following: - Check the classes in the project and keep all classes that implement interface X. - For all X, get the fields, and if a field has a certain annotation, generate a class containing some constant information. Normally the plugin should be bound to the phase 'generate-sources'. However, the classes of the project aren't compiled yet at that moment, so I can't just get them from the classpath, right? Does anyone have a good idea or pointers how to do this correctly? Thanks best regards, Eric - To unsubscribe, e-mail: users-unsubscr...@maven.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: users-h...@maven.apache.org

xdoclet is a tool for parsing java and also generate java, but it is kind of old now /Lucas On 01/13/2011 04:48 PM, Lewis, Eric wrote: Hi I'm trying to write a plugin which does the following: - Check the classes in the project and keep all classes that implement interface X. - For all X, get the fields, and if a field has a certain annotation, generate a class containing some constant information.

Hi, You should try to use new JDK 1.6 annotation processor utilities. The only constraint I see is that each class you want to parse must be annotated.
