Prerequisites

Please verify with
mvn --version.

For example:

harald@gandalf:~[513] mvn --version
Apache Maven 3.6.3 (cecedd343002696d0abb50b32b541b8a6ba2883f)
Maven home: /usr/local/java/maven
Java version: 13.0.2, vendor: Oracle Corporation, runtime: /localhome/java/jdk-13.0.2
Default locale: en_US, platform encoding: UTF-8
OS name: "linux", version: "5.3.0-26-generic", arch: "amd64", family: "unix"

The tutorial consists of 2 parts:

1. creating a wurblet
2. generating code with that wurblet

To avoid redundancy we’re using a multi-module maven project with a separate maven module for each part.

Let’s begin with the parent pom.xml:

  4.0.0

          org.wurbelizer
          wurbelizer-maven-plugin
          ${wurbelizer.version}
        
        
          org.apache.maven.plugins
          maven-compiler-plugin
          3.8.1
          
            11
          
        
      
    
  

Notice that the second module is still disabled.

The plugin management defines the language level (in this case 11) and the wurbelizer plugin. Further information about its usage can be found here.

In the next chapter we will develop your first wurblet.
