Java Maven MOJO - getting information from project POM

I am working on a maven plugin. I seem to have a hard time figuring out, what would be a good way to get POM information from project in which you execute the MOJO ?

For instance if I execute my mojo in another maven project I would like to get project name or some other parameters.

And one more thing, there is a context MAP in AbstractMojo.java class there is private Map pluginContext, could someone correct me if I am wrong but this is suppose to be used for passing information between mojos ?

Solution

  • You can inject the current maven project into your mojo with a field declared like this:

    /**
 * @parameter default-value="${project}"
 * @required
 * @readonly
 */
MavenProject project;

    The projects name is then available by simply calling project.getName(). To use this API, you need to add the maven-project artifact as a dependency:

    <dependency>
    <groupId>org.apache.maven</groupId>
    <artifactId>maven-project</artifactId>
    <version>2.0.6</version>
</dependency>
