Package org.apache.maven.tools.plugin.generator

Class PluginHelpGenerator

java.lang.Object

org.codehaus.plexus.logging.AbstractLogEnabled

org.apache.maven.tools.plugin.generator.PluginHelpGenerator

All Implemented Interfaces:

Generator, org.codehaus.plexus.logging.LogEnabled

public class PluginHelpGenerator
extends org.codehaus.plexus.logging.AbstractLogEnabled
implements Generator

Generates an HelpMojo class from help-class-source.vm template. The generated mojo reads help content from META-INF/maven/${groupId}/${artifactId}/plugin-help.xml resource, which is generated by this PluginDescriptorGenerator.

Notice that the help mojo source needs to be generated before compilation, but when Java annotations are used, plugin descriptor content is available only after compilation (detecting annotations in .class files): help mojo source can be generated with empty package only (and no plugin descriptor available yet), then needs to be updated after compilation - through rewriteHelpMojo(PluginToolsRequest, Log) which is called from plugin descriptor XML generation.
