jcpp-maven-plugin, A plugin for C pre processing in maven project.

Use a c pre processor (org.anarres.jcpp) to process your java templates in a specified folder before build.

1. include it in your <build>

<build>
     <plugins>

                         <sourceDirectory>
                             ${basedir}/src/main/java-templates
                         </sourceDirectory>
                         <outputDirectory>
                             ${project.build.directory}/generated-sources/src/main/java
                         </outputDirectory>
                         <libPaths>
                             <param>${basedir}/src/main/resources/templates
                             </param>
                         </libPaths>
                     </configuration>
                 </execution>
                 <execution>
                     <id>preprocess-test-sources</id>
                     <phase>generate-test-sources</phase>
                     <goals>
                         <goal>preprocess-test-sources</goal>
                     </goals>
                     <configuration>
                         <sourceDirectory>
                             ${basedir}/src/test/java-templates
                         </sourceDirectory>
                         <outputDirectory>
                             ${project.build.directory}/generated-test-sources/src/test/java
                         </outputDirectory>
                     </configuration>
                 </execution>
             </executions>
         </plugin>
     </plugins>
</build>

2. write your code template. put source template code into <sourceDirectory> put additional libPaths for your template codes into <libPaths>

3. mvn compile and get the result.

All params and their default value are listed here.

    @Parameter(defaultValue = "${basedir}/src/main/java-templates", property = "sourceDir", required = true)
    private File sourceDirectory;

    @Parameter(defaultValue = "${project.build.directory}/generated-sources/src/main/java", property = "outputDir",
            required = true)
    private File outputDirectory;

    @Parameter(property = "args")
    private String[] args;

    @Parameter(defaultValue = "${project.build.sourceEncoding}", property = "encoding")
    private String encoding;

    @Parameter(property = "libPaths")
    private String[] libPaths;
    
    @Parameter(defaultValue = "${project}")
    private MavenProject project;

sourceDirectory means a directory which contains your templates.

outputDirectory means a directory to put preprocessed outputDirectory.

args means additional args for org.anarres.jcpp.Main

encoding means encoding of your source files.

libPaths means additional libraries paths for preprocessing your templates. libPaths will be uniqued before the plugin use libPaths, so don't worry if you have duplicated strings in libPaths. sourceDirectory will always be added to libPaths automatically before the plugin use libPaths.

project means your project. I don't think it shall be changed but if you insisted, then you are free to do what you want.
