Re: Writing own plugin: The parameter annotation - does it work?

Hi Gerrit!

If you search for some examples have a look at
https://github.com/matinh/vdldoc-maven-plugin

I created this project some time ago as a proove of concept for myself
to write a simple maven plugin including integration testing. Use the
"run-its" profile to enable integration-tests and have a look at the
main pom.xml resp. the POMs of the ITs in src/it/*.

I came to the same conclusion (at least with the plain testing
harness). I switched to takari-plugin-testing, which seems to have been
written at least in part as a reaction to the fact that nothing else
worked properly.

I have a very small project that can serve as an example of how to use
it:

  https://github.com/io7m/minisite

Take a look at the com.io7m.minisite.tests module. Primarily the
MinSiteMojoTest class, and the takari plugin execution in the tests
module pom. I can attest that it does work from inside the IDE, but you
may need to run an initial build to run the plugin's testProperties
goal (Eclipse & M2E may be able to do this for you these days, I'm not
sure).
