toolprovider-maven-plugin

Maven plugin using Java 9 ToolProvider SPI to execute tasks.

The plugin provides two goals:

• exec - which is a general interface to execute any tool providing interface according to java.util.spi.ToolProvider.
• jar - which is a replacement for maven-jar-plugin that uses jar ToolProvider.

Standard maven-jar-plugin does not (yet) handle Java (JPMS) modules fully. In particular:

• it does not generate ModulePackages constant in compiled module-info
• it does not add main class info to compiled module-info.

To replace standard maven-jar-plugin in your project set packaging in the pom file to toolsjar and configure toolprovider-maven-plugin as build extension:
