The Maven Plugin is used to generate artifacts from syntax files through maven. It is a maven plugin whose execution is usually tied to the generate-sources life cycle phase.

syntax-maven-plugin supports two goals: help and generate. The help goal allows for a detailed information of the goals, and a detailed information of the configuration arguments when -Ddetail=true.

Please read the Usage section for a description of the fragment of code to install the plugin in your pom.

To get help, please run

mvn syntax:help -Ddetail=true

In order to execute syntax as configured, please run

mvn syntax:generate
