Compiling Exported plugin as Maven project

Overview​

Once a plugin project is exported from a workspace, it becomes a standalone plugin project that can be compiled/built, and/or updated to newer version of SDK without having to import it back to an active SDK workspace.

If exported plugin project is getting compiled with maven goals in different system where smartview sdk is not installed then compile.bat needs to run as pre-requisite.

If plugin project need to use different version, then execute following :

Compile the plugin project​

Batch file​

compile.bat

Examples​

Usecase #1:​

Provide the SV version to use for plugin project and provide artifactory URL where d2sdk-maven-plugin-{version} is available.

Developer tools​

Please ensure following developer tool is available to exported plugin project:

PowerShell

PowerShell is a task automation and configuration management program from Microsoft. By default, powershell is available in windows 7 onwards. See https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/powershell.

Troubleshooting​

if you encounter following error while running any maven goal for plugin project:

[ERROR] [ERROR] Some problems were encountered while processing the POMs:
[ERROR] Unresolveable build extension: Plugin com.opentext.d2.sdk:d2sdk-maven-plugin:{version} or one of its dependencies could not be resolved: The following artifacts could not be resolved: com.opentext.d2.sdk:d2sdk-maven-plugin:jar:{version} (absent): Could not find artifact com.opentext.d2.sdk:d2sdk-maven-plugin:jar:{version} in central (https://repo.maven.apache.org/maven2) @

This means Smartview SDK maven plugin is unavailable in your system. To install it, please run compile.bat with required version and specify downloaded SV SDK archive location (or) artifactory location that contains d2sdk-maven-plugin artifact.
