Usage

The DOAP Plugin generates DOAP and ASF DOAP compliant files. The following examples describe the basic usage of the Plugin.

Pure DOAP Configuration

<project>
  ...
  <build>
    <plugins>
      <plugin>
        <groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId>
        <artifactId>maven-doap-plugin</artifactId>
        <version>1.2</version>
        <configuration>
          <doapOptions>
            <!-- Default values -->
            <bugDatabase>${project.issueManagement.url}</bugDatabase>
            <category>library</category>
            <created>${project.inceptionYear}-01-01</created>
            <description>${project.description}</description>
            <downloadPage>\${project.distributionManagement.downloadUrl}</downloadPage>
            <homepage>${project.url}</homepage>

            <scmAnonymousConnection>${project.scm.connection}</scmAnonymousConnection>
            <scmDeveloperConnection>${project.scm.developerConnection}</scmDeveloperConnection>
            <shortdesc>${project.description}</shortdesc>
            <vendor>${project.organization.name}</vendor>
            ...
          </doapOptions>
        </configuration>
      </plugin>
    </plugins>
  </build>
  ...
</project>

Note: See the DoapOptions Javadoc for advanced DOAP options.

DOAP ASF Configuration

This is the minimal POM to be ASF compliant.
