Common Setup

In order to use the plugin, you'll need to add some configuration items to your POM.

First, you'll need to add the Servprise repository:

<project>
...
  <repositories>
    <repository>
      <id>Servprise Repository</id>
      <url>http://dev.servprise.com/maven-repository</url>
    </repository>
  </repositories>
...
</project>

Next, you'll want to tie the maven-jython-plugin into your build process. In order to do this, add something similar to the following:

Building Main Sources

The POM snippet below illustrates common usage of the plugin to build your project's main Jython files. If you do not use the common directory structure (i.e., $basedir/src/main/jython/), then you will have to review the configuration guide.

<project>
...
  <build>
    <plugins>
      <plugin>
        <groupId>com.servprise.maven.plugins</groupId>
        <artifactId>maven-jython-plugin</artifactId>
        <version>0.3</version>
        <executions>
          <execution>
            <id>compile</id>
            <configuration>
              <jythonHome>C:\dev\jython2.2</jythonHome>
            </configuration>
            <goals>
              <goal>compile</goal>
            </goals>
          </execution>
        </executions>
      </plugin>
    </plugins>
  </build>
...
</project>

Note the the jythonHome configuration element is required, implying that you must have Jython installed locally on your system. We hope to relax that requirement in future releases, but that will likely rely on changes to be made in the way Jython is distributed.

Building Test Sources

Building test sources is identical to building the main sources, except that you execute the testCompile goal rather than compile goal. Also note that the execution ID should be different as well, in the event that you need to compile both main and test Jython sources.

The POM snippet below illustrates common usage of the plugin to build your project' test Jython files. If you do not use the common directory structure (i.e., $basedir/test/main/jython/), then you will have to review the configuration guide.

<project>
...
  <build>
    <plugins>
      <plugin>
        <artifactId>maven-jython-plugin</artifactId>
        <executions>
          <execution>
            <id>testCompile</id>
            <configuration>
              <jythonHome>C:\dev\jython2.2</jythonHome>
            </configuration>
            <goals>
              <goal>testCompile</goal>
            </goals>
          </execution>
        </executions>
      </plugin>
    </plugins>
  </build>
...
</project>
