Usage

The Jlex plugin generates Java Lexical Analyzers using the JLex Java Lexical Anaylzer Generator.

To run the plugin, include the following in your POM:

<project>
  ...
  <build>
    <plugins>
      <plugin>
        <groupId>net.sourceforge.maven-jlex</groupId>
        <artifactId>maven-jlex-plugin</artifactId>
        <configuration>
          <files>
            <filePair>
              <inputFile>input.lex</inputFile>
              <outputFile>${project.build.sourceDirectory}/org/myapp/Lexer.java</outputFile>
            </filePair>
          </files>
        </configuration>
        <executions>
          <execution>
            <phase>generate-sources</phase>
            <goals>
              <goal>generate</goal>
            </goals>
          </execution>
        </executions>
      </plugin>
    </plugins>
  </build>
  ...
</project>

Configuration

The plugin accepts as many <filePair> nodes as you wish to run. The <inputFile> should contain the lex grammer and the <outputFile> should point to where the analyzer should be generated
