code-generation

Plug-in for the Protege Desktop ontology editor for generating Java code from an OWL ontology.

More information is available on the Protege wiki:

Code generation from Maven

Declare the runtime dependency in your main project

<dependency>
		<groupId>edu.stanford.protege</groupId>
		<artifactId>org.protege.editor.owl.codegeneration</artifactId>
		<version>1.0.3-SNAPSHOT</version>
</dependency>

Configure the compile time plugin to work as a maven goal

<plugins>
...
<plugin>
	<groupId>edu.stanford.protege</groupId>
	<artifactId>org.protege.editor.owl.codegeneration</artifactId>
	<version>1.0.3-SNAPSHOT</version>
	<executions>
		<execution>
			<id>owl-codegen</id>
			<goals>
				<goal>owl-codegen</goal>
			</goals>
			<configuration>
				<inputOntologyFile>${basedir}/src/main/resources/CatalogueScheme.owl</inputOntologyFile>
				<packageName>com.example.owl</packageName>
				<factoryName>factory.CatalogueFactory</factoryName> 
					<!-- N.B. this will end up in the sub package as com.example.owl.factory.CatalgoueFactory-->
				<outputDirectory>${basedir}/target/generated-sources/protege</outputDirectory>
			</configuration>
		</execution>
	</executions>
</plugin>
...
<!-- add in your generated sources directory -->
<plugin>
	<groupId>org.codehaus.mojo</groupId>
	<artifactId>build-helper-maven-plugin</artifactId>
	<executions>
		<execution>
			<id>add-source</id>
			<goals>
				<goal>add-source</goal>
			</goals>
			<configuration>
				<sources>
					<source>${basedir}/target/generated-sources/protege</source>
				</sources>
			</configuration>
		</execution> 
	</executions>
</plugin>
...
</plugins>

run a mvn generate-sources and your generated java code should magically appear in a new source folder Eclipse may need to be F5 refreshed to make the new code visible.
