Context
The actual documentation mechanism takes the Javadoc description of a MOJO to generate the plugin reports. The main issue is that the documentation is only in one language.
Here is a simple javadoc header for MOJO:
MyMojo.java
package org.apache.maven.plugin.new; /** * Generates documentation for this MOJO. * * @goal myGoal * @phase generate-sources */ public class MyMojo extends AbstractMojo {}
Solution
We propose to add a @i18n tag to handle the internationalization. The default language will be the javadoc description, other languages should be handle by the @i18n tag.
The bundles names will be based on the package/class and located in /src/main/resources/
MyMojo.java
package org.apache.maven.plugin.new; /** * Generates documentation for this MOJO. * * @i18n key="myMojo.description" * @goal myGoal * @phase generate-sources */ public class MyMojo extends AbstractMojo {}
MyMojo_fr.properties
myMojo.description=Génére de la documentation pour ce MOJO.
