This is a first working state of the plugin. It has not been tested thoroughly. It has not been tested on windows at all.

This allows you to mix .java and .jav files in a single project. However, circular dependencies between .java and .jav files are not allowed as both compilers can read .class files but neither is aware of the other source files.

In theory, this should not be a problem as JavaTX is supposed to be a superset of Java. In practice however, there are features missing in JavaTX that Java supports (e.g. Arrays)

Installation

To install run mvn install in the root of this directory. This will install the plugin to your local maven repository.

Then you can use it as a plugin in your maven project by adding the plugin to your project's pom.xml. Make sure to change the javaTXCompilerLocation configuration variable to the correct location. It needs to point to a jar file.

<build>
    <plugins>
        <plugin>
            <groupId>de.dhbwstuttgart</groupId>
            <artifactId>javatx-compiler-plugin</artifactId>
            <version>1.0-SNAPSHOT</version>
            <configuration>
                <javaTXCompilerLocation>path-to-your-java-tx-compiler-location</javaTXCompilerLocation>
            </configuration>
            <!-- Currently this is the way to override the mvn:compile lifecycle step with this plugin instead of the standard one -->
            <executions>
                <execution>
                    <id>custom-compile</id>
                    <phase>compile</phase>
                    <goals>
                        <goal>compile-javatx</goal>
                    </goals>
                </execution>
            </executions>
        </plugin>

        ... additional plugins
    </plugins>
</build>

Now you can use the typical mvn:compile to compile the project. If that fails you may try mvn javatx-compiler-plugin:compile-javatx as there could be a bug with overwriting the compile maven lifecycle phase.
