Maven-Plugin adds wrong source folder to eclipse project Java Build path

[jfiala]

version: swagger-codegen-maven-plugin-2.1.5

The option "addCompileSourceRoot" is true by default.

It adds the following path as source folder to the eclipse Java Build path
target/generated-sources/swagger

However, the generated sources are located at:
target/generated-sources/swagger/src/main/java

So after running mvn eclipse:eclipse Eclipse will show build errors, the Source folder has to be corrected manually.

CodeGenMojo.java should be corrected from

project.addCompileSourceRoot(output.toString());

to

String sourceJavaFolder = output.toString() + "/" + configOptions.get(CodegenConstants.SOURCE_FOLDER);
            project.addCompileSourceRoot(sourceJavaFolder);

However, the code above is only working if the sourceFolder is configured the plugin configuration/configOptions. To make it working without the sourceFolder configuration, the actual source folder needs to be retrieved from the Generator.

[jfiala]

The workaround for 2.1.5 is setting addCompileSourceRoot to "false" and using the build-helper-maven-plugin to add the source folder ourselves:

...
<configOptions>
    <sourceFolder>src/gen/java/main</sourceFolder>
...
</configOptions>
<addCompileSourceRoot>false</addCompileSourceRoot>                      

<plugin>
                <groupId>org.codehaus.mojo</groupId>
                <artifactId>build-helper-maven-plugin</artifactId>
                <executions>
                    <execution>
                        <phase>generate-sources</phase>
                        <goals><goal>add-source</goal></goals>
                        <configuration>
                            <sources>
                                <source>${project.build.directory}/generated-sources/swagger/src/gen/java/main</source>
                            </sources>
                        </configuration>
                    </execution>
                </executions>
            </plugin>

Pls let me know if I should add a PR for this.

Seeing the same issue - thanks for posting the workaround :)

@jfiala please file a PR when you've time. Thanks!

[wing328]

The issue should be fixed. Please pull the latest master to give it a try.

It seems still not fixed? Version 2.2.2, eclipse still not auto add generate source folder as source folder

<plugin>
				<groupId>io.swagger</groupId>
				<artifactId>swagger-codegen-maven-plugin</artifactId>
				<version>2.2.2</version>
				<executions>
					<execution>
						<goals>
							<goal>generate</goal>
						</goals>
						<configuration>
							<!-- specify the swagger yaml -->
							<inputSpec>src/main/resources/swagger.yaml</inputSpec>
							<!-- target to generate -->
							<language>java</language>
							<!-- pass any necessary config options -->
							<configOptions>
								<dateLibrary>joda</dateLibrary>
							</configOptions>
							<!-- override the default library to jersey2
							<library>jersey2</library>
							 -->
						</configuration>
					</execution>
				</executions>
			</plugin>

Any specific reason for doing this?
I mean why not put <source>src/main/java</source> and then adding the packages generated by swagger-codegen to .gitignore?

Man, coming from wsdl2java and the like this plugin is a PITA to get working. I've finally figured out the required voodoo to get usuable client code:

<plugin>
    <groupId>io.swagger</groupId>
    <artifactId>swagger-codegen-maven-plugin</artifactId>
    <version>2.2.3</version>
    <executions>
        <execution>
            <goals>
                <goal>generate</goal>
            </goals>
            <configuration>
                <inputSpec>${project.basedir}/src/main/resources/swagger/myswagger.json</inputSpec>
                <language>java</language>
                <generateApis>false</generateApis>
                <generateModels>true</generateModels>
                <generateModelDocumentation>false</generateModelDocumentation>
                <generateModelTests>false</generateModelTests>
                <generateSupportingFiles>false</generateSupportingFiles>
                <modelPackage>com.example.client</modelPackage>
                <configOptions>
                    <dateLibrary>java8</dateLibrary>
                    <sourceFolder>swagger</sourceFolder>
                </configOptions>
                <output>target/generated-sources</output>
            </configuration>
        </execution>
    </executions>
</plugin>

This yields a reasonable layout which works in eclipse and Maven CLI:

pom.xml
src/
    main/
        resources/
            myswagger.json
target/
    generated-sources/
        swagger/
            com/
                example/
                    client/
                        ModelClass.java
