Running the code generator with Maven
Applies to ✅ Open Source Edition ✅ Express Edition ✅ Professional Edition ✅ Enterprise Edition
There is no substantial difference between running the code generator with Maven or in standalone mode. Both modes use the exact same <configuration/>
element. The Maven plugin configuration adds some additional boilerplate around that:
<plugin> <!-- Specify the maven code generator plugin --> <!-- Use org.jooq for the Open Source Edition org.jooq.pro for commercial editions, org.jooq.pro-java-8 for commercial editions with Java 8 support, org.jooq.pro-java-6 for commercial editions with Java 6 support, org.jooq.trial for the free trial edition Note: Only the Open Source Edition is hosted on Maven Central. Import the others manually from your distribution --> <groupId>org.jooq</groupId> <artifactId>jooq-codegen-maven</artifactId> <version>3.14.7</version> <executions> <execution> <id>jooq-codegen</id> <phase>generate-sources</phase> <goals> <goal>generate</goal> </goals> <configuration> ... </configuration> </execution> </executions> </plugin>
Additional Maven-specific flags
There are, however, some additional, Maven-specific flags that can be specified with the jooq-codegen-maven
plugin only:
<plugin> <configuration> <!-- A boolean property (or constant) can be specified here to tell the plugin not to do anything --> <skip>${skip.jooq.generation}</skip> <!-- Instead of providing an inline configuration here, you can specify an external XML configuration file here --> <configurationFile>${externalfile}</configurationFile> <!-- Alternatively, you can provide several external configuration files. These will be merged by using Maven's combine.children="append" policy --> <configurationFiles> <configurationFile>${file1}</configurationFile> <configurationFile>${file2}</configurationFile> <configurationFile>...</configurationFile> </configurationFiles> </configuration> </plugin>
