How to remove comments with Maven

[rcbandit]

Hi,
  I have a WAR package with JSF pages, JavaScript files, CSS files and Maven POM file. I'm interested can I configure Maven to delete all comments into the source code files before packaging the files?

Best Wishes
Peter

If you can point me at a tool (ideally written in Java, but this is
not required) which can strip comments from source code, then I can
tell you how to turn it into a Maven plugin. Does Tidy have this
functionality for HTML?

I've never heard of such a tool myself. I'm not sure why you would
want to do this either. Most people just obfuscate things.

For Java use proguard either directly or via the ant task or the proguard
maven plugin.

For javascript and css used related compression tools with potentially the
exec plugin or some other invocation of them natively. There is probably
something like that already part of the javascript plugin actually.

Chapter 11 of the book Maven: The Definitive Guide will help you turn
this Java code into a Maven plugin:
http://books.sonatype.com/books/mvnref-book/reference/writing-plugins.html

Also refer to this documentation:
http://maven.apache.org/plugin-developers/index.html

Hi Manfred,

great hints on this.

However Peter may not want to do this on his files in src/main/
but on copies of these in target/...

Copying and invoking the stripping of comments on the copies is no
problem (antrun plugin) but how to make the maven standard plugins to build the
*-sources.jar from the modified copies?

I think I would just create another module that depends on the original.
It could download the sources, strip them and them use them as source for
the current project..
