tycho-source-feature:source-feature

Full name:

org.eclipse.tycho.extras:tycho-source-feature-plugin:2.7.5:source-feature

This plugin goal has been deprecated:

this mojo is replaced by the tycho-source-plugin with execution feature-source which offers equivalent and even enhanced functionality

Description:

Generates a source feature for projects of packaging type eclipse-feature. By default, the generated source feature
  • Declares feature id <originalFeatureId>.source
  • Declares feature label "<originalFeatureLabel> Developer Resources"
  • If present, reuses feature provider, description, copyright and license as well as respective URLs from <originalFeature>
  • Includes all plugins included by <originalFeature>, but each with .source appended to each plugin id
  • Includes all features included by <originalFeature>, but each with .source appended to each feature id
  • Includes the original feature. This ensures that binaries and corresponding sources match.
Source feature generation can be customized by adding files under path sourceTemplateFeature/. Files added here will be added to the root of the source feature jar. Especially, if file sourceTemplateFeature/feature.properties is found, values in this file override values of respective keys in <originalFeature>/feature.properties.

Attributes:

  • Requires a Maven project to be executed.
  • The goal is thread-safe and supports parallel builds.
  • Binds by default to the lifecycle phase: package.

Optional Parameters

Name Type Since Description
<archive> MavenArchiveConfiguration - (no description)
<brandingPlugin> String - Use this to explicitly set the branding plugin attribute of the generated source feature (overrides reuseBrandingPlugin).
<excludes> PlexusConfiguration - Bundles and features that do not have corresponding sources. Example: 
<excludes>
  <plugin id="plugin.nosource"/>
  <feature id="feature.nosource"/>
</excludes>

<finalName> String - The filename to be used for the generated archive file. For the source-feature goal, "-sources-feature" is appended to this filename.
User property is: project.build.finalName.
<includeBinaryFeature> boolean - Whether to add an include dependency from the source feature to the corresponding binary feature. If true, this ensures the version of the installed sources matches the binaries.
Default value is: true.
<labelSuffix> String - Source feature label suffix. Unless explicitly provided in sourceTemplateFeature/feature.properties, this suffix will be appended to the original feature label to construct the source feature label.
Default value is: Developer Resources.
<plugins> PlexusConfiguration - Additional plugins to include in the generated source feature. Beware that these additional plugins are not considered during build target platform calculation and ordering of reactor projects. Use <extraRequirements> dependency resolver configuration to guarantee proper reactor build order.

WARNING This experimental parameter may be removed from future source-feature mojo versions without prior notice.
<reuseBrandingPlugin> boolean - Whether to reuse an explicit branding plugin from the binary feature for the generated source feature.
Default value is: true.
<skip> boolean - Whether to skip source feature generation.
Default value is: false.
<useDefaultExcludes> boolean - (no description)
Default value is: true.
