Maven Setup

This project comes with a working Maven pom.xml file. You should be able to import it into Eclipse using File → Import → Maven → Existing Maven Projects (or Check out Maven Projects from SCM to do Git cloning as well). You can also build the project from the command line with mvn compile and test it with mvn test.

Pay attention to these folders:

• src/main/java – Java source files go here (as usual for Maven)
• src/main/resources – data files go here
• src/test/java – JUnit tests
• target/classes – compiled Java class files

You should probably edit the pom.xml and fill in details such as the project name and artifactId:

	< !-- FIXME - set group id -->
	<groupId>inf112.skeleton.app</groupId>
	< !-- FIXME - set artifact name -->
	<artifactId>mvn-app</artifactId>
	<version>1.0-SNAPSHOT</version>
	<packaging>jar</packaging>

	< !-- FIXME - set app name -->
	<name>mvn-app</name>
	< !-- FIXME change it to the project's website -->
	<url>http://www.example.com</url>

Running

You can run the project from Eclipse, or with Maven using mvn exec:java. Change the main class by modifying the main.class setting in pom.xml:

		<main.class>inf112.skeleton.app.Main</main.class>

If you run mvn package you'll get a everything bundled up into a JAR file

• target/*.jar – your compiled project, packaged in a JAR file

POM snippets

If you're setting up / adding ANTLR4 to your own project, you can cut and paste these lines into your pom.xmlfile.

• You should make sure that both the parser generator and the runtime use the same version, so define the version number in <properties>…</properties>:

		<antlr4.version>4.8-1</antlr4.version>

• The ANTLR4 runtime is needed to run the compiled parser; add it in the <depencencies>…</dependencies> section:

<!-- https://mvnrepository.com/artifact/org.antlr/antlr4-runtime -->
<dependency>
	<groupId>org.antlr</groupId>
	<artifactId>antlr4-runtime</artifactId>
	<version>${antlr4.version}</version>
</dependency>

• The ANTLR4 maven plugin includes the ANTLR4 tool, and is needed to generate parser during compilation; add it to <build><plugins>…</plugins></build>:

<plugin>
	<groupId>org.antlr</groupId>
	<artifactId>antlr4-maven-plugin</artifactId>
	<version>${antlr4.version}</version>
	<executions>
		<execution>
			<goals>
				<goal>antlr4</goal>
			</goals>
		</execution>
	</executions>
</plugin>
