Markus Spann commented on SUREFIRE-1994: ---------------------------------------- How does this discovery in IntelliJ take place? Does Idea make educated guesses or does it have explicit support for javacc-maven-plugin? I use Eclipse mostly, and I can tell you that *setting up surefire in Eclipse* for development is quite a hazzle. My two biggest stumbling blocks were: # javacc-maven-plugin # surefire-shared-utils In Ecipse one needs to hand-configure the surefire-grouper module with an additional source folder. I wouldn't want this source folder to exist in the project's build directory. Every time you do {{clean}} in Maven, the project has compile errors in Eclipse. And Eclipse cannot rectify those by itself, as it does not know of javacc. > Upgrade and configure javacc-maven-plugin in module surefire-grouper > -------------------------------------------------------------------- > > Key: SUREFIRE-1994 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SUREFIRE-1994 > Project: Maven Surefire > Issue Type: Improvement > Affects Versions: 3.0.0-M5 > Reporter: Markus Spann > Priority: Minor > > Maven module surefire-grouper uses *javacc-maven-plugin* to generate > {{GroupMatcherParser}} and other Java sources. > Upgrade the plugin to the new groupId (org.codehaus.mojo -> > org.javacc.plugin) and latest version (2.6 -> 3.0.3). > The plugin by default generates sources into > {{{}target/generated-sources/javacc/{}}}. This location is inconvenient for > the Eclipse IDE. > Configure the plugin to write generated sources to {{src/generated/java}} (an > often-used location for generated Java sources) and add this location as a > source folder using {{{}build-helper-maven-plugin{}}}. -- This message was sent by Atlassian Jira (v8.20.1#820001)
