The way I get this, you don't have to change the behavior of Maven's
compiler plugin.
If you check out [1], you'll see there are plenty of lifecycle phases
to hook your ant tasks (or whatnot) and perform steps 1, 2 and 3.
For example, I'd probably use generate-(re)sources/process-(re)sources
to perform 1 and 2.
For step 3, generate-sources is greate for code generation (i.e. if
that jsc thingy produces .java code), otherwise I'd just throw in the
generated class files in the target during prepare-package or,
especially if you need tests, process-classes.
I think you might be right, the way you describe may better integrate
with the Maven lifecycle than having tasks 1,2 and 3 all be executed
within the compile phase. However, it's not clear to me how what you
propose could be implemented using the Maven AntRun plugin. The reason
for this is that, currently in the Ant script, tasks 1, 2, and 3 depend
on one-another such that 3 depends on 2, and 2 depends on 1. This is
desirable, as, when calling the task 3 in the Ant script without Maven,
tasks 1 and 2 should be executed before 3. If one were to delegate to
tasks 1, 2, and 3 at different phases in the Maven lifecycle, then
during the Maven build process, task 1 would be executed, then task 1
followed by task 2, then task 1 followed by 2 followed by 3. It seems
like to change this behaviour would involve removing the dependencies in
the Ant script, which I feel would essentially be "breaking" the script.
If I've misunderstood something, or there's a better way to implement
this, please let me know.
Perhaps you would be interested in helping us implement 1-3 in the
maven-jstools-plugin [2] ;-)
Sure. If you don't mind an Ant dependency, then the work is already done:
https://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/commons/sandbox/gsoc/2010/scxml-js/trunk/build.xml
If you have a native Maven plugin in mind, that would be something I
could perhaps assist with in the future as well.
Thanks,
Jake
