SciJava Maven Plugin

scijava-maven-plugin is a Maven plugin for managing SciJava-based software.

It provides one goal:

• set-rootdir (as part of the validate phase of the life cycle): finds the project root directory of nested Maven projects and sets the rootdir property to point there. This goal is useful if you want to define the location of the ImageJ.app/ directory relative to the project root directory.

It is recommended to enable it automatically by making the SciJava POM the parent project:

<project ...>
  <parent>
    <groupId>org.scijava</groupId>
    <artifactId>pom-scijava</artifactId>
    <version>1.156</version>
  </parent>
  ...
</project>

Alternatively, you can include the plugin explicitly in the life cycle:

<plugins>
  <!-- Set the rootdir property to the root of the multi-module project -->
  <plugin>
    <groupId>org.scijava</groupId>
    <artifactId>scijava-maven-plugin</artifactId>
    <version>0.1.0</version>
    <executions>
      <execution>
        <id>set-rootdir</id>
        <phase>validate</phase>
        <goals>
          <goal>set-rootdir</goal>
        </goals>
      </execution>
    </executions>
  </plugin>
</plugins>
