Maven Plugin Development Gradle Plugin

Build Status Gradle Plugin Portal

This plugin aims to fill the tiny gap for people who need to create an Apache Maven plugin from a Gradle build. To do this the plugin wraps around the Maven Plugin Tools API and feeds it with the right inputs from the Gradle build.

Compatible with Gradle 7.x or later.

Features

  • Automatic generation of a maven plugin descriptor containing all mojos in the selected source set (by default the plugin looks for mojo implementations in the main source set)
  • Support for annotation and JavaDoc tag based mojo implementations
  • Optional generation of a help mojo implementation

Usage

Please see the plugin documentation. For a self-contained example please the example folder.
