Normally you're not supposed to call a Maven plugin's mojo from another mojo but there are times when you may have this need. In my case I was developing a plugin and I needed to call the Maven License Plugin from within my mojo.
I succeeded in achieving this through the Maven Executor plugin.
Without further ado here's the code that worked for me:
[...]
import static org.twdata.maven.mojoexecutor.MojoExecutor.configuration;
import static org.twdata.maven.mojoexecutor.MojoExecutor.element;
import static org.twdata.maven.mojoexecutor.MojoExecutor.executeMojo;
import static org.twdata.maven.mojoexecutor.MojoExecutor.executionEnvironment;
import static org.twdata.maven.mojoexecutor.MojoExecutor.goal;
import static org.twdata.maven.mojoexecutor.MojoExecutor.name;
[...]
* @requiresProject
* @requiresDependencyResolution compile
* @threadSafe
*/
public class FormatMojo extends AbstractVerifyMojo
{
/**
* The project currently being build.
*
* @parameter expression="${project}"
* @required
* @readonly
*/
private MavenProject project;
/**
* The current Maven session.
*
* @parameter expression="${session}"
* @required
* @readonly
*/
private MavenSession mavenSession;
/**
* The Maven BuildPluginManager component.
*
* @component
* @required
*/
private BuildPluginManager pluginManager;
[...]
@Override
public void execute() throws MojoExecutionException, MojoFailureException
{
[...]
// Find the license plugin (it's project's responsibility to make sure the License plugin is properly setup in
// its <pluginManagement>, for most XWiki projects it just mean inherits from xwiki-commons-pom)
Plugin licensePlugin =
this.project.getPluginManagement().getPluginsAsMap().get("com.mycila:license-maven-plugin");
if (licensePlugin == null) {
throw new MojoExecutionException("License plugin could not be found in <pluginManagement>");
}
executeMojo(
licensePlugin,
goal("format"),
configuration(
element(name("header"), "license.txt"),
element(name("strictCheck"), "true"),
element(name("headerDefinitions"),
element(name("headerDefinition"), "license-xml-definition.xml")),
element(name("includes"),
element(name("include"), "src/main/resources/**/*.xml"))
),
executionEnvironment(
this.project,
this.mavenSession,
this.pluginManager
)
);
}
[...]
}

}
And boom it worked!
Hope this can be useful to someone.
