How to create JOSM plugins with Maven

7 August, 2008 - 11:48 — godin

I tried to develop plugin for JOSM. JOSM uses ant to build plugins, but I like maven.

Installing josm.jar into local maven-repository:

mvn install:install-file \
    -DgroupId=org.openstreetmap \
    -DartifactId=josm \
    -Dversion=1.5 \
    -Dpackaging=jar \
    -Dfile=josm.jar

Example pom.xml for plugin:

<project>
    <modelVersion>4.0.0</modelVersion>
 
    <groupId>org.openstreetmap.josm.plugins</groupId>
    <artifactId>plugin_name</artifactId>
    <version>0.1</version>
    <name>simple_plugin</name>
    <description>plugin_description</description>
 
    <packaging>jar</packaging>
 
    <dependencies>
        <dependency>
            <groupId>org.openstreetmap</groupId>
            <artifactId>josm</artifactId>
            <version>1.5</version>
        </dependency>
    </dependencies>
 
    <build>
        <plugins>
            <plugin>
                <artifactId>maven-compiler-plugin</artifactId>
                <configuration>
                    <source>1.6</source>
                    <target>1.6</target>
                    <encoding>UTF-8</encoding>
                    <debug>true</debug>
                    <optimize>true</optimize>
                    <showDeprecations>true</showDeprecations>
                </configuration>
            </plugin>
            <plugin>
                <groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId>
                <artifactId>maven-jar-plugin</artifactId>
                <configuration>
                    <archive>
                        <manifestEntries>
                            <Plugin-Class>org.openstreetmap.josm.plugins.plugin_name.MainPluginClass</Plugin-Class>
                            <Plugin-Description>${project.description}</Plugin-Description>
                            <Plugin-Version>${project.version}</Plugin-Version>
                            <Author>e-mail</Author>
                        </manifestEntries>
                    </archive>
                </configuration>
            </plugin>
        </plugins>
    </build>
</project>
