Vassal Module Template

• Put custom module source code in src/.

• Put the contents of your module in dist/.

• pom.xml contains project settings, such as the Vassal version to compile against, the name and version of your module.

• Variables defined in pom.xml can be substituted into other files, listed explicitly in the <resources> section. E.g., you can substitute the module version number into the moduledata file:

<version>${project.version}</version>

and also into to buildFile.xml:

<VASSAL.build.GameModule ModuleOther1="" ModuleOther2="" VassalVersion="3.7.4" description="Some Module for Some Game" name="SomeModule" nextPieceSlotId="14332" version="${project.version}">

in order to keep them current automatically.

• Run Maven's package target to build the module. (From the command line on Unix: ./mvnw package; from the command line on Windows: mvnw.cmd package; from an IDE, choose the "package" target.) The module will be written to target/.
