This post will create a Maven plugin for Jigsaw. This plugin is based on HK2 Maven plugin.
The post includes all the code needed to build the plugin.
(the resulting source code, except for changes in Jigsaw’s source, is available at: https://svn.kenai.com/svn/lh-playground~svn/jigsaw )

Setting up the environment:

1. Build Jigsaw

2. Get Subversion

sudo apt-get install subversion

3. Get Maven

sudo apt-get install maven2

4. Set JAVA_HOME

export JAVA_HOME=’/usr/lib/jvm/java-7-openjdk-i386'

Custom Plexus Javac Component:

In the previous post I built WorldClock using just the command line, this time I’ll use Maven for compiling.

1. Get Maven

sudo apt-get install maven2

Set JAVA_HOME to Jigsaw, so that Maven uses Jigsaw:

export JAVA_HOME=~/dev/jigsaw/build/linux-i586/jdk-module-image

(last updated 2010-06-20)

Moving on from Hello World to WorldClock, a simple multimodules application.

1. Get the source

Install Subversion:

sudo apt-get install subversion

Create the directories:

mkdir -p ~/dev/worldclock

 Get the source:

cd ~/dev/worldclock
svn checkout https://worldclock-application.dev.java.net/svn/worldclock-application/tags/application6-jigsaw ~/dev/worldclock/application –username guest

Following my building Jigsaw post, here are the instructions for a Hello World module:

1. Create the project structure

mkdir -p ~/dev/hello/src/hello/lh/hello
mkdir -p ~/dev/hello/build

2. Create the Main class

use: gedit ~/dev/hello/src/hello/lh/hello/Main.java &
