Method Detail

build

ProjectBuildingResult build(File projectFile,
                            ProjectBuildingRequest request)
                     throws ProjectBuildingException

Builds a project descriptor from the specified POM file.

Parameters:

projectFile - The POM file to build the project from, must not be null.

request - The project building request that holds further parameters, must not be null.

Returns:

The result of the project building, never null.

Throws:

ProjectBuildingException - If the project descriptor could not be successfully built.

build

ProjectBuildingResult build(Artifact projectArtifact,
                            ProjectBuildingRequest request)
                     throws ProjectBuildingException

Builds a project descriptor for the specified artifact.

Parameters:

projectArtifact - The POM artifact to build the project from, must not be null.

request - The project building request that holds further parameters, must not be null.

Returns:

The result of the project building, never null.

Throws:

ProjectBuildingException - If the project descriptor could not be successfully built.

build

ProjectBuildingResult build(Artifact projectArtifact,
                            boolean allowStubModel,
                            ProjectBuildingRequest request)
                     throws ProjectBuildingException

Builds a project descriptor for the specified artifact.

Parameters:

projectArtifact - The POM artifact to build the project from, must not be null.

allowStubModel - A flag controlling the case of a missing POM artifact. If true and the specified POM artifact does not exist, a simple stub model will be returned. If false, an exception will be thrown.

request - The project building request that holds further parameters, must not be null.

Returns:

The result of the project building, never null.

Throws:

ProjectBuildingException - If the project descriptor could not be successfully built.

build

ProjectBuildingResult build(ModelSource modelSource,
                            ProjectBuildingRequest request)
                     throws ProjectBuildingException

Builds a project descriptor for the specified model source.

Parameters:

modelSource - The source of the model to built the project descriptor from, must not be null.

request - The project building request that holds further parameters, must not be null.

Returns:

The result of the project building, never null.

Throws:

ProjectBuildingException - If the project descriptor could not be successfully built.

build

List<ProjectBuildingResult> build(List<File> pomFiles,
                                  boolean recursive,
                                  ProjectBuildingRequest request)
                           throws ProjectBuildingException

Builds the projects for the specified POM files and optionally their children.

Parameters:

pomFiles - The POM files to build, must not be null.

recursive - true to recursively build sub modules referenced by the POM files, false to build only the specified POM files.

request - The project builder configuration that provides further parameters, must not be null.

Returns:

The results of the project builder where each result corresponds to one project that was built, never null.

Throws:

ProjectBuildingException - If an error was encountered during building of any project. ProjectBuildingException.getResults() provides access to the details of the problems.
