Maven, XDoclet and Hibernate

I kept on getting the following build error: taskdef class
xdoclet.modules.hibernate.HibernateDocletTask. I found the solution was
to ensure the following two dependencies were included in my project.xml
file.

<dependency>
<groupId>xdoclet</groupId>
<artifactId>xdoclet-hibernate-module</artifactId>
<version>1.2</version>
</dependency>

<dependency>
<groupId>xdoclet</groupId>
<artifactId>xjavadoc</artifactId>
<id>xjavadoc</id>
<version>1.0.2</version>
</dependency>

In my last comment, the id attribute of the second dependency was bogus,
and not needed. I also found that due to dependencies of
maven-xdoclet-plugin-1.2.jar, I had to copy xjavadoc-1.0.2.jar from
$HOME/.maven/repository/xdoclet/jars to
$HOME/.maven/repository/xjavadoc/jars

I found that the destDir property is case sensitive under win2k + cygwin. 
setting maven.xdoclet.hibernatedoclet.destdir had no effect on the
location of the output mapping files, but setting 
maven.xdoclet.hibernatedoclet.destDir=${maven.build.dest} worked.

I find this functionality is exactly what i need but doesn't quite close
the gap on my understanding of how to implement or what steps occur to
arrive at a final outcome of having a mapping file and DDL and a dbms test.

Here are the dependencies that will get you through most uses. I am 
currently using this for Hibernate, jBoss, Struts, EJB's and support 
files.  Hope this helps...

If you have a BUILD FAILED because of "No goal 
[xdoclet:hibernatedoclet]" like I did, the xdoclet plugin is probably 
not installed. To install it, run :

maven plugin:download -DartifactId=maven-xdoclet-plugin -
DgroupId=xdoclet -Dversion=1.2

There might be other(better ?) ways, but that's the first one I found.

What if you get the message 'nested plugin housings'? As a Maven newbie
I have no clue what so ever to handle this message. Any ideas?

If you add the following to you project.xml file, it will include the
required deps to run this goal- at least it did for me :)

<dependency>
	<groupId>xdoclet</groupId>
	<artifactId>xjavadoc</artifactId>
	<version>1.0.2</version>
	<url>http://xdoclet.sourceforge.net</url>
</dependency>
<dependency> 
	<groupId>xdoclet</groupId> 
	<artifactId>xdoclet-hibernate-module</artifactId> 
	<version>1.2</version> 
</dependency> 	
<dependency> 
	<groupId>xdoclet</groupId> 
	<artifactId>maven-xdoclet-plugin</artifactId> 
	<version>1.2</version> 
	<type>plugin</type> 
</dependency>

I think I use everything according to the above. Still, the only thing
hibernatedoclet gives me is the following error:

Tag library requested that is not present: 'maven' in plugin:
'maven-xdoclet-plugin-1.2.1'
I use xdoclet 1.2.1 with plugin 1.2.1

Has anyone seen this ?

Hi,

Does anyone know how to generate the hibernate.cfg.xml file with
maven-xdoclet plugin? I mean, the maven-equivalent of <hibernatecfg/>
sub-task of hibernatedoclet?

Unfortunately, there is a very poor documentation about the properties
used by the plugin...

Thanks,
Renaud

Have you gotten a reply on this?  I too see the same thing and have no 
idea how to resolve it.

To make maven bootstrap its hibernatedoclet build (I mean that's why 
you use it) put the following into your maven.xml file. 
 
{{{<preGoal name="java:compile"> 
    <j:set var="groupId" value="xdoclet"/> 
    <j:set var="artifactId" value="maven-xdoclet-plugin"/> 
    <j:set var="version" value="1.2"/> 
    <attainGoal name="plugin:download-artifact"/> 
    <m:installPlugin 
file="${maven.repo.local}/${groupId}/plugins/${artifactId}-${version}.jar" 
cache="true" /> 
 
    <attainGoal name="xdoclet:hibernatedoclet"/> 
  </preGoal>}}} 
 
This will make maven install the xdoclet plugin if it isn't already 
and allows your build to work straight out of the (repository) box.  
 
NB I use 1.2.2 but that isn't in the iblibio repository (yet) so if 
you want to too you'll need to make your own repository.

Following is the output I first received, which is comparable to the
problem others mentioned:

Tag library requested that is not present: 'maven' in plugin:
'maven-xdoclet-plugin-1.2'
java.lang.NoSuchMethodError:
xjavadoc.XClass.getTransformedName()Ljava/lang/String;


The 'NoSuchMethodError' of the xjavadoc lib implies the signature is not
available in that xjavadoc library.  So, I updated that jar to version
1.1, as opposed to the 1.0.2 as mentioned above in dependencies.  It worked.

Your config may not require this specific change, but this error (and
java errors in general) could very well be caused by incompatible lib
versions, or even subversions.

best...
