[jboss-dev-forums] [JBoss Build System Development] - Accessing maven dependency class from exec-maven-plugin clas

[galder.zamarreno@jboss.com]

Hi,

In Infinispan, we do some post processing of classes to generate JMX documentation by scanning annotations. We do this via a javadoc Doclet that gives us com.sun.javadoc.RootDoc instance which we can loop to check all classes for annotations.

Now, I'd like to use a similar approach that allowed me to generate jopr plugin's rhq-plugin.xml and this processing should involve a similar annotation scanning process before building the infinispan jopr plugin jar.

The obvious thing to do looks to me to have a executable class that is executed before process-classes and that generates the plugin xml. However, how do I get access to the list of maven dependency classes?

I could maybe use a doclet cos I'd get a RootDoc instance but this expects some kind of docletArtifcact where to lookup the doclet is precisely before this artifact is generated that I want to execute this doclet.

Thoughts?
