Generating the POM File

Generating the POM File

The Flogo Maven plugin uses a custom Maven plugin to run the build, tests and packaging for Flogo® apps. This requires a custom POM file needs to be generated with the flogo maven plugin.

Creating this file manually can be error prone so to enable the users to generate this POM file, the TIBCO Flogo® Extension for Visual Studio Code provides a context menu to generate the POM file. This option is supported in TIBCO Flogo® Extension for Visual Studio Code version 1.2.0 and above.

To generate the POM file do the steps below.

1. Open the Flogo® app in the Visual Studio Code. Note: Open the folder containing the Flogo® app and not the app directly in the Visual Studio Code.

2. Right click on the Flogo app to open the Visual Studio Code context menu.

3. Click on the Context menu item named "Generate POM File for Flogo App".

4. This will generate the POM file in the same directory and at the same level at the Flogo App.

5. To run the maven goals open the Terminal from this folder.

6. You can now run the Maven commands below from the Command line.

• build
• test
• package
