Code generation demo Plugin
this is a proof of concept
This is a basic maven plugin project to demonstrate the source code generation capabilities of a maven plugin. The theoretic "API" definition sits in a yaml file and provided as a source jar dependency to the plugin. The plugin downloads and extracts the plugin and processes all yml/yaml files found inside the output folder, generates the corresponding java source code then attaches the result to the build process as source code folder.
Structure
The project has 3 maven modules:
- codegen-maven-plugin - the plugin sourcec
- api - a very simple project with yaml definitions and a build config to create source code attached jar
- demo - the plugin demonstration project to download the api project's source code and generate Java from the yaml files.
Usage
Checkout and use mvn install. You can check the result in the <project>demo/target/generated-sources folder
TODO
- generate a sample java source and add to the build process
- separate the plugin and the demo code to different modules
- create a simple yaml-> java PoC
- add a yaml parser and a small yaml example
- add a source code artifact configuration+download+unzip function
- add CI build
