Apache Maven Create a Maven Plugin Accessing the project information
Example
The plugin can, among others, access information about the current Maven project being built.
@Mojo(name = "project")
public final class ProjectNameMojo extends AbstractMojo {
@Parameter(defaultValue = "${project}", readonly = true, required = true)
private MavenProject project;
public void execute() throws MojoExecutionException, MojoFailureException {
getLog().info("Hello, this is " + project.getName());
}
}
The above example would print in the console the name of the Maven project it is run on, which is specified in the <project>/<name> element of its POM.
The MavenProject class used in the plugin requires a dependency of maven-core with a (default) compile scope in the plugin's POM:
<dependency>
<groupId>org.apache.maven</groupId>
<artifactId>maven-core</artifactId>
<version>3.3.9</version>
</dependency>
Furthermore, using annotations requires the following dependency in the plugin's POM:
<dependency>
<groupId>org.apache.maven.plugin-tools</groupId>
<artifactId>maven-plugin-annotations</artifactId>
<version>3.5</version>
<scope>provided</scope> <!-- annotations are needed only to build the plugin -->
</dependency>
