Maven: Build RMI Stub Using Ant RMIC Task
By admin on Feb 22, 2008 in open source
Oops, it is Maven again. This time I need to build RMI server and client stub classes using Maven. To do this I used the Maven Ant Run plugin.
In my pom.xml
<plugin>
<groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId>
<artifactId>maven-antrun-plugin</artifactId>
<dependencies>
<dependency>
<groupId>sun</groupId>
<artifactId>tools</artifactId>
<version>1.0</version>
<scope>system</scope>
<systemPath>${java.home}/../
lib/tools.jar</systemPath>
</dependency>
</dependencies>
<executions>
<execution>
<id>compile</id>
<phase>compile</phase>
<configuration>
<tasks>
<property name="compile_classpath"
refid="maven.compile.classpath"/>
<property name="runtime_classpath"
refid="maven.runtime.classpath"/>
<property name="test_classpath"
refid="maven.test.classpath"/>
<property name="plugin_classpath"
refid="maven.plugin.classpath"/>
<property name="compile_path"
value="target/classes"/>
<rmic verify="true"
debug="on"
classpathref="maven.compile.classpath"
includes="**/*.class"
base="${compile_path}"
/>
</tasks>
</configuration>
<goals>
<goal>run</goal>
</goals>
</execution>
</executions>
</plugin>
The trick here is that I need to set the dependency to point to Java tools.jar file.
