# Semantic Version Annotation Processor [![License (3-Clause BSD)](https://img.shields.io/badge/license-BSD%203--Clause-blue.svg?style=flat-square)](http://opensource.org/licenses/BSD-3-Clause) [![Dependency Status](https://www.versioneye.com/user/projects/56a680101b78fd00390001d2/badge.svg?style=flat)](https://www.versioneye.com/user/projects/56a680101b78fd00390001d2) [![Build Status](https://travis-ci.org/ethauvin/semver.svg?branch=master)](https://travis-ci.org/ethauvin/semver) [![Build status](https://ci.appveyor.com/api/projects/status/nbv4mxd1gpxtx69o?svg=true)](https://ci.appveyor.com/project/ethauvin/semver) [![Maven Central](https://maven-badges.herokuapp.com/maven-central/net.thauvin.erik/semver/badge.svg)](https://maven-badges.herokuapp.com/maven-central/net.thauvin.erik/semver) [ ![Download](https://api.bintray.com/packages/ethauvin/maven/SemVer/images/download.svg) ](https://bintray.com/ethauvin/maven/SemVer/_latestVersion) An [annotation processor](https://docs.oracle.com/javase/8/docs/api/javax/annotation/processing/Processor.html) that automatically generates a `GeneratedVersion` class containing the [semantic version](http://semver.org/) (major, minor, patch, etc.) that is read from a `Properties` file or defined in the [annotation](https://docs.oracle.com/javase/tutorial/java/annotations/basics.html). This processor was inspired by Cédric Beust's [version-processor](https://github.com/cbeust/version-processor). ## Examples * Using annotation elements: ```java @Version(major = 1, minor = 0, patch = 0, prerelease = "beta") public class A { // ... ``` * Or using a [properties](https://docs.oracle.com/javase/tutorial/essential/environment/properties.html) file: ```java @Version(properties = "version.properties") public class A { // ... ``` ```ini # version.properties version.major=1 version.minor=0 version.patch=0 version.prerelease=beta ``` ## Template Upon running the annotator processor, a source file [`GeneratedVersion.java`](https://github.com/ethauvin/semver/blob/master/example/src/generated/java/net/thauvin/erik/semver/example/GeneratedVersion.java) is automatically generated with static methods to access the semantic version data. The source is based on a fully customizable [Velocity](http://velocity.apache.org/) template. ```java @Version(template = "myversion.vm") public class A { // ... ``` ### Default Template The [default template](https://github.com/ethauvin/semver/blob/master/src/main/resources/version.vm) implements the following static methods: Method | Description | Example ------------------|----------------------------------|------------------ `getProject` | The project name, if any. | `MyProject` `getBuildDate` | The build date. | [`java.util.Date`](https://docs.oracle.com/javase/8/docs/api/java/util/Date.html) `getVersion` | The full version string. | `1.0.0-alpha+001` `getMajor` | The major version. | `1` `getMinor` | The minor version. | `0` `getPatch` | The patch version. | `0` `getPreRelease` | The pre-release version, if any. | `alpha` `getBuildMetadata`| The build metadata, if any. | `001` ### Custom Template A very simple custom template might look something like: ```java /* myversion.vm */ package ${packageName} import java.util.Date; public final class ${className} { public final static String BUILDMETA = "${buildmeta}"; public final static Date DATE = new Date(${epoch}L); public final static int MAJOR = ${major}; public final static int MINOR = ${minor}; public final static int PATCH = ${patch}; public final static String PRERELEASE = "${prerelease}"; public final static String PROJECT = "${project}"; } ``` The Velocity variables are automatically filled in by the processor. Please also look at this [example](https://github.com/ethauvin/mobibot/blob/master/version.vm) using [`java.time`](https://docs.oracle.com/javase/8/docs/api/java/time/package-summary.html) ## Elements & Properties The following annotation elements and properties are available: Element | Property | Description | Default -------------|----------------------|----------------------------------|------------- `project` | `version.project` | The project name. | `major` | `version.major` | The major version number. | `1` `minor` | `version.major` | The minor version number. | `0` `patch` | `version.patch` | The patch version number. | `0` `prerelease` | `version.prerelease` | The pre-release version. | `buildmeta` | `version.buildmeta` | The build metadata version. | `className` | | The name of the generated class. | `GeneratedVersion` `properties` | | The properties file. | `template` | | The template file. | `version.vm` In order to easily incorporate with existing projects, the property keys may be assigned custom values: ```java @Version( properties = "example.properties", majorKey = "example.major", minorKey = "example.minor", patchKey = "example.patch", prereleaseKey = "example.prerelease", buildmetaKey = "example.buildmeta", projectKey = "example.project" ) public class Example { // ... ``` ```ini # example.properties example.project=Example example.major=1 example.minor=0 example.patch=0 # ... ``` ## Usage with Maven, Grail and Kobalt ### Maven To install and run from [Maven](http://maven.apache.org/), configure an artifact as follows: ```xml net.thauvin.erik semver 0.9.6-beta ``` ### Gradle #### Class Generation To install and run from [Gradle](https://gradle.org/), add the following to the `build.gradle` file: ```gradle dependencies { compile 'net.thauvin.erik:semver:0.9.6-beta' } ``` The `GeneratedVersion` class will be automatically created in the `build` directory upon compiling. #### Class & Source Generation In order to also incorporate the generated source code into the `source tree`, use the [EWERK Annotation Processor Plugin](https://github.com/ewerk/gradle-plugins/tree/master/plugins/annotation-processor-plugin). Start by addding the following to the very top of the `build.gradle` file: ```gradle plugins { id "com.ewerk.gradle.plugins.annotation-processor" version "1.0.2" } ``` Then add the following to the `build.gradle` file: ```gradle dependencies { compileOnly 'net.thauvin.erik:semver:0.9.6-beta' } annotationProcessor { library 'net.thauvin.erik:semver:0.9.6-beta' processor 'net.thauvin.erik.semver.VersionProcessor' // sourcesDir 'src/generated/java' } compileJava { // Disable the classpath procesor options.compilerArgs << '-proc:none' } ``` The plugin implements a separate compile task that only runs the annotation processor and is executed during the build phase. Please look at the [build.gradle](https://github.com/ethauvin/semver/blob/master/example/build.gradle) file in the [example](https://github.com/ethauvin/semver/tree/master/example) module directory for a sample. ### Kobalt To install and run from [Kobalt](http://beust.com/kobalt/), add the following to the `Build.kt` file: ```gradle dependencies { apt("net.thauvin.erik:semver:0.9.6-beta") compile("net.thauvin.erik:semver:0.9.6-beta") } ``` Please look at the [Build.kt](https://github.com/ethauvin/semver/blob/master/example/kobalt/src/Build.kt) file in the [example](https://github.com/ethauvin/semver/tree/master/example) module directory for a sample. ### Auto-Increment Incrementing the version is best left to your favorite build system. For a solution using [Gradle](https://gradle.org/), please have a look at the [build.gradle](https://github.com/ethauvin/semver/blob/master/example/build.gradle) file in the [example](https://github.com/ethauvin/semver/tree/master/example) module directory. To run the example with patch version auto-incrementing, issue the following command: ``` gradle release run ```
