Create a plug in

Location

All the plug-ins should be located under the bundles/ folder. This is a convention making easier for a newcomer to understand project's architecture.

Hence, adding a fr.kazejiyu.foo.core plug-in to the project would result in the following tree structure:

.
├───bundles
│   │   pom.xml
│   └───fr.kazejiyu.foo.core
│       │   .classpath
│       │   .project
│       │   build.properties
│       ├───.settings
│       │       org.eclipse.jdt.core.prefs
│       ├───bin
│       ├───META-INF
│       │       MANIFEST.MF
│       └───src

Add to Maven build

In order to be taken into account by Maven, the plug-in must be added as a sub-module of the bundles module. To this end, the bundles/pom.xml file must be enhanced with a <module> tag as follows:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<project xmlns="http://maven.apache.org/POM/4.0.0" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xsi:schemaLocation="http://maven.apache.org/POM/4.0.0 http://maven.apache.org/xsd/maven-4.0.0.xsd">
	<modelVersion>4.0.0</modelVersion>
	
	<groupId>fr.kazejiyu.foo</groupId>
	<artifactId>fr.kazejiyu.foo.bundles</artifactId>
	<packaging>pom</packaging>
	
        ...
        
        <modules>
                <module>fr.kazejiyu.foo.core</module>
        </modules>    
</project>
