Usage
The plugin offers goals for validating and transforming XML files. Basically, the plugin is used as follows:
<build> <plugins> ... <plugin> <groupId>org.codehaus.mojo</groupId> <artifactId>xml-maven-plugin</artifactId> <executions> <execution> <goals> <goal>...</goal> </goals> </execution> </executions> <configuration> ... </configuration> </plugin> ... </plugins> </build>
In the above example, the goal would be either of validate
, or transform
.
Transformation and Validation are described on separate pages.
Using a proxy server
It is not unusual, that an XML parser attempts to load documents from external servers. In a corporate environment, this will likely work only, if a proxy server is used. The plugin accepts the standard Maven proxy configuration. See the Mini guide on proxy configuration for details.
