Maven Jacobe Plugin

This plugin lets you invoke TIOBE's Jacobe from a Maven project. All you have to do is add a dependency to this plugin in your pom.xml. Like in the following example.

<plugins>
    <plugin>
        <groupId>com.tiobe.jacobe</groupId>
        <artifactId>maven-jacobe-plugin</artifactId>
        <version>1.0</version>
        <configuration>
        </configuration>
    </plugin>
</plugins>

For more information regarding Jacobe, please visit TIOBE's website at http://www.tiobe.com.

  • Example of the plugin configuration in pom.xml

        <configuration>
            <jacobeExecutable>c:\opt\jacobe\jacobe.exe</jacobeExecutable>
            <rules>
                <param>indent=2</param>
                <param>continuationindent=1</param>
            </rules>
            <configurationFile>c:\opt\jacobe\sun.cfg</configurationFile>
            <comparisonThreshold>0.01</comparisonThreshold>
            <headerFile>${basedir}/src/main/resources/header.txt</headerFile>
            <javadoc>private</javadoc>
            <noAssert>true</noAssert>
            <noEnum>true</noEnum>
            <noBackup>true</noBackup>
            <overwrite>true</overwrite>
            <outputExtension>formatted</outputExtension>
            <input>${basedir}/src/main/java</input>
        </configuration>
    </plugin>
</plugins>

    The only required configuration is input. The other values assume the same default as Jacobe.
