State Machine Compiler

This project forked http://smc.sourceforge.net/ SMC-project and translated its project structure to a maven project structure to enable the SMC-library to be distributed via mavens binary distribution system. This enables SMC to be included in any maven-based java (and JVM-based) projects.

Further this project forked http://mojo.codehaus.org/smc-maven-plugin/ to provide a smc-maven-plugin which enables maven to compile sm-files to java semi-automatic. Add this plugin to your pom.xml

          ...
        </configuration>
      </plugin>
    </plugins>
  </build>
</project>

Put your sm-files in the "src/main/smc"-folder of your project root. Compile the sm-files to java-classes through executing "mvn smc:smc". The generated classes are found in "target/generated-sources/smc"-folder. The plugin is in an early and buggy version. Please use it with caution and on your own risk.

To execute the compiled java-classes include the maven dependency in your pom.xml

<dependency>
  <groupId>com.github.orolle</groupId>
  <artifactId>smc-lib-java</artifactId>
  <version>6.4.0</version>
</dependency>
