模型指南

模型是一个从简单模板生成源码的工具。从简单模板你可以生成这些：

• Java源码
• XML序列化源码模型
• XML反序列化源码模型
• 模型文档
• XSD

一个经典类型模型模板如下：

<model xmlns="http://modello.codehaus.org/MODELLO/1.4.0" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"
  xsi:schemaLocation="http://modello.codehaus.org/MODELLO/1.4.0 http://modello.codehaus.org/xsd/modello-1.4.0.xsd"
  xml.namespace="http://maven.apache.org/plugins/maven-archetype-plugin/archetype/${version}"
  xml.schemaLocation="http://maven.apache.org/xsd/archetype-${version}.xsd">
  <id>archetype</id>
  <name>Archetype</name>
  <description>
    <![CDATA[Maven's model for the old archetype descriptor (ie for Archetype 1.0.x).
    <p>The metadata about an archetype is stored in the <code>archetype.xml</code> file located
    in the <code>META-INF/maven</code> directory of its jar file.</p>]]>

</model>

为了利用模型你要配置maven-modello-plugin的一些东西，你想生成java源码模型，有xpp3序列化源码和xpp3反序列源码：

<project>
  ...
  <build>
    <plugins>
      <plugin>
        <groupId>org.codehaus.modello</groupId>
        <artifactId>modello-maven-plugin</artifactId>
        <version>1.8.3</version>
        <executions>
          <execution>
            <goals>
              <!-- Generate the xpp3 reader code -->
              <goal>xpp3-reader</goal>
              <!-- Generate the xpp3 writer code -->
              <goal>xpp3-writer</goal>
              <!-- Generate the Java sources for the model itself -->
              <goal>java</goal>
            </goals>
          </execution>
        </executions>
        <configuration>
          <models>
            <model>src/main/mdo/descriptor.mdo</model>
          </models>
          <version>1.0.0</version>
          <useJava5>true</useJava5>
        </configuration>
      </plugin>
    </plugins>
  </build>
  ...
</project>
