Required parameter "vendor" not documented

[peterbecker]

Trying to run the plugin I ran into the following error:

[ERROR] Failed to execute goal com.zenjava:javafx-maven-plugin:1.3:build-jar (build-jar) on project epik-protocol-tools: The parameters 'vendor' for goal com.zenjava:javafx-maven-plugin:1.3:build-jar are missing or invalid -> [Help 1]

By looking at the source code I figured out that I should set /project/organization/name in the POM, but that wasn't obvious and I didn't see it documented anywhere.

If anyone can work out how to get the 'mvn site' to actually generate the list of goals and parameters I'd put the resulting docco up on the site. I tried putting it in but it generates everything except the only interesting bit of the goals and their parameters. I'm out of time to play with it for now, but would be handy to have working.

Adding the following to your POM seems to do the trick:

<reporting>
    <plugins>
        <plugin>
            <groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId>
            <artifactId>maven-plugin-plugin</artifactId>
            <version>3.2</version>
        </plugin>
    </plugins>
</reporting>

It needs a few clicks to find the info, but it is in the generated site (Project Reports->Plugin Documentation->${goal}).

Thanks for this. I put it in and it generated the doc, but because I've been pretty slack on JavaDoc and also there are some attributes in base classes that don't get used in every goal. As such the resulting documentation could actually be more confusing that helpful. I definitely want to fix all this up, but it may have to wait now till I get back from travelling. If things go to plan, then the whole code base will get a pretty big re-work then anyway.

Thanks peterbecker for the tip about vendor. It's crazy that this is not documented!

It's documented (not in the best place): http://zenjava.com/javafx/maven/basic-config.html

After creation of a new website, this will be documented in a better way.
