mxp: Paths configurable

[kiesel]

The paths should be configureable in pom.xml. Currently, eg. the PHP source src/main/php is hardcoded. There should also be a document describing what can be configured.

src/main/php is the default value; it can be configured via phpSourceRoots @parameter as follow:

<project..>
...
<build>
  <plugins>
      <plugin>
        <groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId>
        <artifactId>maven-xpframework-plugin</artifactId>
        <version>1.1</version>
        <extensions>true</extensions>
        <configuration>
          <phpSourceRoots>
            <phpSourceRoot>new/src/path</phpSourceRoot>
          </phpSourceRoots>
        </configuration>
      </plugin>
...
</project>

Same for testPhpSourceRoots.

There is one limitation though: testPhpSourceRoots must not be contained within testSourceRoots so it looks like we cannot compile legacy apps (main=/src, test=/src/com/company/unittest) with this plugin.

Hrm, so this would be a parameter to the build plugin? In Java projects, I would configure the the <sourceDirectory> or <testSourceDirectory> settings inside the <build> node - isn't it possible to reconfigure these settings through the plugin, if they haven't been deliberately changed by the pom's author?

[mrosoiu]

<project/build/sourceDirectory> and <project/build/testSourceDirectory> can also be set, but this is where mxp will look for .xp sources to be sent to xcc

PHP "raw" .class.php files path can be defined only as shown above, and, if missing, will default to src/main/php and src/test/php

[mrosoiu]

If you run mvn clean site (using Maven2 as I am unable to run it using Maven3), the documentation is generated in the target/site directory. This contains all goals and all configurable parameters that can be set either in pom.xml in the <configuration> section or via mvn -D...

[kiesel]

That should be fine, then. What about this case: I'd like to manage an PHP-only XP project (no xcc) with mxp - I could configure <sourceDirectory> to point to src/main/php, so other maven plugins will be able to process sources in any way. Will the mxp still work then?
