How to generate source code from avro schema in maven(eclipse)?

Question

I know this is not the first time this question has been asked. As i have gone through several links, but unable to understand why avro schema is not generating the source code when no error is being thrown in maven(eclipse).  I have tried deleting 'pluginManagement' from pom.xml file but it throws error. 

Tried deleting.m2 repo,mvn clean, mvn install, nothing seems to work. Not sure what is the issue.

Also, could you please tell me how to add 'fieldVisibility=private' argument while generating the source code from the command line. Please guide! Thank you!

This is the pom.xml file

http://maven.apache.org/xsd/maven-4.0.0.xsd"> 4.0.0

Answer 1

I would suggest to use the correct setup like this:

There are two things: you are using not the avro-maven-plugin and also you have configured it in the pluginManagement instead of in using correctly located in <build><plugins>...</plugins></build> .

  <project...>
    <plugins>
      .
      <plugin>
        <groupId>org.apache.avro</groupId>
        <artifactId>avro-maven-plugin</artifactId>
        <version>1.9.2</version>
        <executions>
          <execution>
            <phase>generate-sources</phase>
            <goals>
              <goal>schema</goal>
            </goals>
            <configuration>
              <sourceDirectory>${project.basedir}/src/main/avro/</sourceDirectory>
              <outputDirectory>${project.basedir}/src/main/java/</outputDirectory>
            </configuration>
          </execution>
        </executions>
      </plugin>
    </plugins>
  </build>
