Apache Maven 3 Cookbook

Extending Apache Maven
jruby-maven-plugin
1.0-beta-4
4. You need to build and install the plugin into your Maven local repository:
$ mvn install
5. After build success, the plugin is now available for execution from the command line
or for further integration into other projects. To execute from the command line, try
the following:
$ mvn net.srirangan.packt.maven:maven-plugant-plugin:hello
How it works...
In the first step, we created the project structure based on the standard Apache Maven project
skeleton. We followed it by creating a MOJO hello.rb. This MOJO class extends the Abstract
Mojo and implements the execute method.
We now have the source code ready for the JRuby plugin. However, to complete the
project, we create the project POM file pom.xml. Here, we defined the dependency to the
jruby-maven-plugin and included it in the element of the project
object model.
Finally, we installed our Maven JRuby plugin with the $mvn install command and saw an
example on how to execute the plugin from the command line.
