The url element maps to the url field, the timeout element maps to the timeout field, and the options element maps to the options field. The elements in the configuration match the names of the fields in the Mojo. (Remember that a plug-in consists of one or more Mojos where a Mojo maps to a goal.) Say, for example, you have a Mojo that performs a query against a particular URL, with a specified timeout and list of options. Maven plugins (build and reporting) are configured by specifying a element where the child elements of the element are mapped to fields, or setters, inside your Mojo. For reporting plugins, specify each version in the element (and in the element too). Often the element is found in the parent POM. A good practice is to specify each build plugin's version in a element. Important Note: Always define the version of each plugin used to guarantee build reproducibility. Reporting plugins are executed during the site generation and configured in the element.Īll plugins should have minimal required information: groupId, artifactId and version.Build plugins are executed during the build and configured in the element.In Maven, there are two kinds of plugins, build and reporting:
