Maven 1.x Application Generation Plugin

Fixed.
PS: I added a test case, although the test case interactes with the user (which is bad .

You read in my mind Felipe.
Some weeks ago I wanted to add tests for the plugin and I found I couldn't do it due to this limitation !!
Thanks a lot to did it.

Hi Arnauld,

Well, at least after months of inactivity I contributed with something useful

Now we just need to figure it out an elegant way to bypass those <i:ask> questions...

Arnauld,

I have createad a class that sets the System.in to always return enter:

package org.apache.maven.genapp.testing;

import java.io.BufferedInputStream;
import java.io.IOException;
import java.io.InputStream;

public class NewlinerInputStream extends BufferedInputStream {

private static final InputStream SYSTEM_IN = System.in;
private static final NewlinerInputStream THE_INSTANCE = new NewlinerInputStream(SYSTEM_IN);

public static void replaceSystemIn() { System.setIn( THE_INSTANCE ); }

public NewlinerInputStream(InputStream in) { super(in); }

public synchronized int read(byte[] b, int off, int len) throws IOException { b[0] = '\n'; return 1; }

}

And then on maven.xml I used:

<goal name="test-genapp" prereqs="clean,java:compile">
<j:invokeStatic className="org.apache.maven.genapp.testing.NewlinerInputStream" method="replaceSystemIn"/>
<attainGoal name="genapp"/>
</goal>

But I got a ClassNotFoundException:

Do you know how should I set Jelly to use that class (which is under src/main on the plugin - I have also set the <build> on the testcase's POM to that value)?

Thks,

Hi Felipe.

Did you see that you could bypass the <i:ask> with something like :
maven -Dtemplate=default -Dmaven.genapp.template.id=myId -Dmaven.genapp.template.name="My Name" -Dmaven.genapp.template.package=org.apache.mypackage genapp
For the problem of class not found, I don't know what happens.
Did you take a look at the xdoc plugin ? There are some invokeStatic . For example :
<j:invokeStatic className="org.apache.maven.xdoc.util.LocaleUtil" method="codeToLocale" var="defaultLocale">
<j:arg value="${maven.xdoc.locale.default}" type="java.lang.String"/>
</j:invokeStatic>
I don't understand why it doesn't work for you. It's very similar.

Hi again,

I tried to set the properties to skip the prompt, but it didn't work, I mean, not all the questions were skipped; I will try again anyway.

Regarding the invokeStatic, I will take a look on the xdocs plugin. What I know works is to access a class that is included in a dependency; if that's the case, I could move that class to the main plugin (in fact, doing so would allow to reuse it for other genapp test cases).
