Export data structures to XSD file

You can export the data structures defined in the UCTool project into an XSD file to be subsequently used for automated processing in other tools.

Use the export-xsd goal of the UCTool Maven plugin.

To export XSD file once manually, run:

mvn uctool:export-xsd

To import XSD files automatically on saving every source file, add the following execution to build/plugins/plugin with artifactId = uctool-maven-plugin in pom.xml:

...
<execution>
        <id>export-xsd</id>
        <goals>
                <goal>export-xsd</goal>
        </goals>
        <phase>generate-resources</phase>
</execution>
...

You can also customize the export process, see the export goal documentation for available configuration parameters.

You can define the export execution multiple times in pom.xml with different parameters to export multiple XSD files in different way. For example, you can export database entities, interface data structures and UI forms separately, each into its own XSD file.
Use Maven profiles for this purpose.
