Features

1. Ensures a Hugo binary is available in the correct version. If required: It will download and install it.

2. Can either build single sites or multiple at once.

3. Generated resources can be used as normal sites (at /public) or also directly as resources by Java application (as part of the resulting JAR).

4. Easy to configure.

Getting started

1. Register our repository (optional)

You can directly register our repository if you want always the latest version. The central can be versions behind.

<pluginRepositories>
    <pluginRepository>
        <id>echocat</id>
        <url>https://packages.echocat.org/maven</url>
    </pluginRepository>
</pluginRepositories>

2. Pick your version

Find your desired version you want to install (usually the latest one) by looking it up in our repository or directly at the Maven Central.

2. Bind the plugin to your build process:

<build>
    <plugins>
        <plugin>
            <groupId>org.echocat.maven.plugins</groupId>
            <artifactId>hugo-maven-plugin</artifactId>
            <version>LATEST_VERSION</version>
            <executions>
                <execution>
                    <!-- Give this execution a name,
                         build might be a good one. -->
                    <id>build</id>
                    <goals>
                        <!-- `build` is the default goal.
                             See below. -->
                        <goal>build</goal>
                    </goals>
                    <configuration>
                        <!-- Configuration to pick up -->
                        <config>config.toml</config>
                    </configuration>
                </execution>
            </executions>
        </plugin>
        <!-- [...] -->
    </plugins>
    <!-- [...] -->
</build>

4. Now you can run mvn package

Now you should have all those resources on the one hand inside target/generated-resources/hugo/... but also in your resulting JAR and by this available in your classpath at public/....

Please see demos for many easy demonstrations how to configure and what the result will be.
