rascal-maven-plugin

This MVN plugin runs the experimental Rascal checker (and later also the compiler).

Functionality

• It loads a Rascal interpreter and then the source of the compiler into that interpreter.
• Then it executes the Rascal checker and prints the results on the commandline.
• Output files such as .tpl and .class files are written to the target folder
• The build fails if errors are detected. Warnings are only printed.

Configuration

• <bin> configures where the .tpl and .class files are stored which are the result of compilation
• You can to provide it a (source) location of entire compiler to run using the <boot> parameter, this will become a library location after the MOJO is upgraded to use the bootstrapped compiler.
• The source path of the compiler is configured using the <srcs> configuration parameter
• The library path of the compiler is configured using the <libs> configuration parameter, but the MOJO will pick up all dependent artifacts (jars) which have META-INF/RASCAL.MF present in their root folder as well. Those jars will be searched for .tpl files and .class files which are produced by the Rascal compiler.
