Re: [seam-dev] Help with aggregating project javadoc

This took quite a lot of messing around in Seam's distribution build thanks to Maven's lack of support for multi-module projects. To point you in the right direction, take a look at: https://github.com/seam/dist/blob/master/dist/pom.xml Down near the end of the pom you'll find this plugin configuration: <plugin> &! lt;groupId >org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId> <artifactId>maven-dependency-plugin</artifactId> <executions> &nbsp! ; &nb sp; <execution> <id>module-sources</id> <goals> &nbs p; <goal>unpack-dependencies</goal> </goals> <configuration>**** <classifier>sources</classifier> <outputDirectory>${project.build.directory}/sources</outputDirectory> <excludeTransitive>true</excludeTransitive> <includeArtifactIds>**seam-face s-api,seam-international-api,seam-jcr-api,seam-jms-api,seam-mail-api,seam-persistence-api,seam-remoting,seam-reports-api,seam-rest-api,seam-security-api,seam-social-api,seam-social,seam-transaction-api,seam-validation-api,solder-api</includeArtifactIds> </configuration> </execution> And a little further down you'll find this: <plugin> <artifa! ctId>**maven-javadoc-plugin</artifactId> <version>2.7</version> <executions>** <execution> <id>javadoc-jar</id> <phase>package</phase> <goals> <goal>jar</goal> </goals> <configuration> <sourcepath>${project.build.directory}/sources</sourcepath> <links> <link>http://download.oracle.com/javaee/6/api</link> <link>http://download.oracle.com/javase/6/docs/api/</link> </links> &nb! sp; & nbsp; <keywords>true</keywords> <author>true</author> ! </configuration> </execution> </executions> ! &nbs p; </plugin> What the first bit does is essentially unpacks the entire source tree for all Seam modules into a single directory structure. The second bit runs the javadoc plugin over this unpacked source code, creating the "consolidated" javadocs for the entire project. It's a little convoluted however there didn't seem to be any easier way to do this. Shane On 11/10/12 08:14, Ivan St. Ivanov wrote: Hello! I am Ivan and I am contributing to the JBoss Forge project. Right now I am working on a task to build tool's javadoc (and sources as well) and aggregate them in a couple of archives. I did some experiments, but at the end the build used to create too much garbage in the project directories. So I was advised by one of our core committers (George Gastaldi) to look at the Seam 3 build. I checked it and found that the following projects have some javadoc configurations: parent dist dist / seam I merely copied the configurations from the respective pom.xml files. And when ran the Forge build, I got the javadocs (and sources) built for each of our modules, but didn't find any big aggregate archive anywhere. Could you please tell me, do I miss anything? Which are actually the seam modules and projects that I should look at? Thanks!
