web3j-maven-plugin

web3j maven plugin is used to create java classes based on the solidity contract files.

Usage

The base configuration for the plugin will take the solidity files from src/main/resources and generates the java classes into the folder src/main/java.

<build>
    <plugins>
        <plugin>
            <groupId>org.web3j</groupId>
            <artifactId>web3j-maven-plugin</artifactId>
            <version>4.9.4</version>
            <configuration>
                <soliditySourceFiles/>
            </configuration>
        </plugin>
    </plugins>
</build>

to run the plugin execute the goal generate-sources

mvn web3j:generate-sources

Configuration

The are several variable to select the solidity source files, define a source destination path or change the package name.

Configuration of outputDirectory has priority over sourceDestination

Getting Started

Create a standard java maven project. Add following <plugin> - configuration into the pom.xml file:

<plugin>
    <groupId>org.web3j</groupId>
    <artifactId>web3j-maven-plugin</artifactId>
    <version>4.8.1</version>
    <configuration>
        <packageName>com.zuehlke.blockchain.model</packageName>
        <sourceDestination>src/main/java/generated</sourceDestination>
        <nativeJavaType>true</nativeJavaType>
        <outputFormat>java,bin</outputFormat>
        <soliditySourceFiles>
            <directory>src/main/resources</directory>
            <includes>
                <include>**/*.sol</include>
            </includes>
        </soliditySourceFiles>
        <abiSourceFiles>
            <directory>src/main/resources</directory>
            <includes>
                <include>**/*.json</include>
            </includes>
        </abiSourceFiles>
        <outputDirectory>
            <java>src/java/generated</java>
            <bin>src/bin/generated</bin>
            <abi>src/abi/generated</abi>
        </outputDirectory>
        <contract>
            <includes>
                <include>greeter</include>
            </includes>
            <excludes>
                <exclude>mortal</exclude>
            </excludes>
        </contract>
        <pathPrefixes>
            <pathPrefix>dep=../dependencies</pathPrefix>
        </pathPrefixes>
    </configuration>
</plugin>

Add your solidity contract files into the folder src/main/resources. Make sure that the solidity files ends with .sol.

Start the generating process:

> mvn web3j:generate-sources

Process finished with exit code 0

You find the generated java classes inside the directory src/main/java/generated/.

Next step is to interact with the smart contract. See for that deploying and interacting with smart contracts in the official web3j documentation.

For a multi module project configuration see following post from @fcorneli. In short: For pick up the generated java source files, you need the build-helper-maven-plugin configuration. Also, ${basedir} prefix is required within a multi-module project.
