I'm building a plugin to do some code generation.
I've followed the steps here for how to create a plugin: http://maven.apache.org/guides/plugin/guide-java-plugin-development.html
Plugin Source:
/**
* @goal helloworld
* @phase generate-sources
*/
public class SampleMojo extends AbstractMojo
{
@Override
public void execute() throws MojoExecutionException, MojoFailureException
{
getLog().info("Hello, world.");
}
}
Usage:
<plugins>
<plugin>
<groupId>com.sample</groupId>
<artifactId>sample-maven-plugin</artifactId>
<version>0.0.1</version>
<executions>
<execution>
<phase>generate-sources</phase>
<goals>
<goal>helloworld</goal>
</goals>
</execution>
</executions>
</plugin>
</plugins>
The plugin works fine on its own, but in Eclipse, I keep getting the "not covered by lifecycle" error.
I read through "How to solve “Plugin execution not covered by lifecycle configuration” for Spring Data Maven Builds" and I assumed that if I created my own plugin and set the @phase and @goal annotations it would get rid of that error. I really don't want to put in the "lifecycleMappingMetadata" node in the pom.
Anyone have any advice on this? Is there something special that I need to write for m2e to get that error to go away?
