Configuration Options

Option	Default Value	Explanation
engine	javascript	script engine name. e.g. rhino, nashorn, ruby. It is passed to ScriptEngineManager.getEngineByName(). The goal script:list is available to confirm the engine name.
arguments	[]	command line arguments for the script. sytem property: scriptmvn.arguments
script		inline script.
scriptFile		script file name to be executed. If it starts with jar:, http://, https:// or file:, then it is treated as URL. see javadoc of URL and JarURLConnection. If a relative path is given, it is treated as a relative path to the project basedir.
scriptFiles		list of script files to be executed
prefix	mvn	the global variable name to access the maven environment. If empty, no global variable for this purpose is created.
globalProject	true	use global variable project.
globalSettings	true	use global variable settings.
globalLog	true	use global variable log.

Global variables

• By default, project, settings, log, and mvn are available.
• project

• org.apache.maven.project.MavenProject

• settings

• org.apache.maven.settings.Settings

• log

• wrapper for org.apache.maven.plugin.logging.Log

• mvn

member	description
project	same as above
settings	same as above
log	same as above
session	org.apache.maven.execution.MavenSession
mojo	org.apache.maven.plugin.MojoExecution
arguments	String array provided by arguments property.
scriptFile	current executing script file
public void fail(String msg) throws MojoExecutionException	fails build with message.
public void fail() throws MojoExecutionException	fails build with default message.

          <script>
          <![CDATA[
log.info("hello form cdata");
for(var i = 0; i < mvn.arguments.length; i++) {
  log.info(mvn.arguments[i]);
}
]]>
          </script>
        </configuration>
      </plugin>

The complex inline script should be contained by XML CDATA section.

          ]]>
          </script>
        </configuration>
      </plugin>

If the build should be failed, a MojoExecutionException can be thrown by mvn.fail().

Auto Execution

The script is executed in prepare-pakcage phase.

Arguments and Filename

• This plugin sets ScriptEngine.FILENAME and ScriptEngine.ARGV to script engines, but many engines ignore these properties.
  • jruby supports both properties.
• The filename and command line arguments can be accessed via the global variable mvn.

Goal: cli

• script:cli: executes scripts. It is almost same as script:execute. But it is intended to be used from command line.
• project.version can be got as follows:
  • It does not require the configuration in pom.xml.
  • But if the engine other than javascript is needed, the configuration in pom.xml is required.

$ mvn -q io.github.yas99en:script-maven-plugin:1.0.0:cli -Dscriptmvn.cli.script='Packages.java.lang.System.out.println(project.version);'

System property

The followings can be specified by only the system properties. The maven expression can not be used in these properties.

Option	Default Value	Explanation
scriptmvn.cli.engine	javascript	script engine name.
scriptmvn.cli.script		inline script.
scriptmvn.cli.scriptFile		script file name. If a relative path is given, it is treated as a relative path to current directory.
scriptmvn.cli.scriptFiles		commna separated script file names.
scriptmvn.cli.arguments		commna separated arguments.

Goal: echo

• script:echo: echos a message.
• This goal uses only the native maven mechanism, does not use any scripting engine.
• project.version can be got as follows:

$ mvn -q io.github.yas99en:script-maven-plugin:1.0.0:echo -Dscriptmvn.echo.message='${project.version}'

• See PluginParameterExpressionEvaluator API

System property

The followings can be specified by only the system properties.

name	Default Value	Explanation
scriptmvn.echo.message		message to be printed. The maven expression can be used.
scriptmvn.echo.output	out	specifies the output method. "out": uses System.out.println. "err" uses System.err.println. "log" uses the maven log info.

Goal: list

• script:list: list all script engine information. Any one of Names can be used as the option engine.

If the configuration for this plugin is in pom.xml,

  $ mvn script:list

If not,

$ mvn -q io.github.yas99en:script-maven-plugin:1.0.0:list
