Maven Thrift Plugin

I am trying to automate the generation of source files from the .thrift files and later the packaging. As far as I know, the maven-thrift-plugin is restrictive in the sense that source and destination directories are fixed. Is there any way I can specify the source and destination directories? I could probably achieve this by using the maven-antrun-plugin but I don't want to pollute my pom unnecessarily if I don't have to.

Thanks.

Solution

As far as I can see from the source (https://github.com/dtrott/maven-thrift-plugin/blob/master/src/main/java/org/apache/thrift/maven/ThriftCompileMojo.java) there are configuration properties that control this behaviour.

Try these properties, they should work:

thriftSourceRoot
thriftTestSourceRoot
outputDirectory

These props should be added to the <configuration> section along with <thriftExecutable>, etc:

<plugin>
    <groupId>org.apache.thrift.tools</groupId>
    <artifactId>maven-thrift-plugin</artifactId>
    <version>0.1.10</version>
    <configuration>
        <thriftExecutable>/usr/local/bin/thrift</thriftExecutable>
        <thriftSourceRoot>${basedir}/src/main/my_custom_thrift_root</thriftSourceRoot>
    </configuration>
    <executions>
    ...
</plugin>
