A dynamic way to use generators and Modello plugins.

Example Usage:

  <plugin>
    <groupId>org.codehaus.modello</groupId>
    <artifactId>modello-maven-plugin</artifactId>
    <version>1.3</version>
    <dependencies>
      <dependency>
        <groupId>org.codehaus.modello</groupId>

  </plugin>
modello:help Display help information on modello-maven-plugin.
Call mvn modello:help -Ddetail=true -Dgoal=<goal-name> to display parameter details.
modello:jackson-extended-reader Creates an Jackson extended reader from the model. An extended reader populates the parsed model with metadata about the line/column from which the data was read if the model supports this.
modello:jackson-reader Creates an Jackson reader from the model.
modello:jackson-writer Creates an Jackson writer from the model.
modello:java Creates Java beans from the Modello model.
modello:jdom-writer Creates a jdom writer from the model that is capable of preserving element ordering and comments. In future it should also preserve whitespace.
modello:jsonschema Creates a JSON Schema from the model.
modello:sax-writer Creates a SAX writer from the model.
modello:snakeyaml-extended-reader Creates an Snake Yaml extended reader from the model. An extended reader populates the parsed model with metadata about the line/column from which the data was read if the model supports this.
modello:snakeyaml-reader Creates an SnakeYaml reader from the model.
modello:snakeyaml-writer Creates an SnakeYaml writer from the model.
modello:stax-reader Creates an StAX reader from the model.
modello:stax-writer Creates an StAX writer from the model.
modello:velocity Creates files from the model using Velocity templates.

This mojo can be given a list of templates and a list of parameters. Each template from the templates property will be run with the following context:

  • version: the version of the model to generate
  • model: the modello model
  • Helper: a org.codehaus.modello.plugin.velocity.Helper object instance
  • any additional parameters specified using the params property
The output file is controlled from within the template using the #MODELLO-VELOCITY#SAVE-OUTPUT-TO VTL directive. This allows a single template to generate multiple files. For example, the following directive will redirect further output from the template to a file named org/apache/maven/api/model/Plugin.java if the variable package is set to org.apache.maven.api.model and the variable className is set to Plugin.

#MODELLO-VELOCITY#SAVE-OUTPUT-TO ${package.replace('.','/')/${className}.java}

modello:xdoc Creates documentation for the model in xdoc format.
modello:xpp3-extended-reader Creates an XPP3 extended reader from the model. An extended reader populates the parsed model with metadata about the line/column from which the data was read if the model supports this.
modello:xpp3-extended-writer Creates an XPP3 extended writer from the model. An extended writer renders the content with comments about the line/column from which the data was read if the model supports this.
modello:xpp3-reader Creates an XPP3 reader from the model.
modello:xpp3-writer Creates an XPP3 writer from the model.
modello:xsd Creates an XML schema from the model.
