# Semantic Version Annotation Processor
|
|
|
|
An [annotation processor](https://docs.oracle.com/javase/8/docs/api/javax/annotation/processing/Processor.html) that automatically generates a `Version` 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 {
|
|
// ...
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
and `version.properties` containing:
|
|
|
|
```ini
|
|
version.major=1
|
|
version.minor=0
|
|
version.patch=0
|
|
version.prerelease=beta
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## Template
|
|
|
|
Upon running the annotator processor, a source file `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 {
|
|
// ...
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
The [default template]() 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`
|
|
|
|
## 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 {
|
|
// ...
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
with `example.properties` containing:
|
|
|
|
```ini
|
|
example.project=Example
|
|
example.major=1
|
|
example.minor=0
|
|
example.patch=0
|
|
...
|
|
``` |
