Migrate to the xml-maven-plugin

Update plugin's GAV

This is the original way to define the xslt-maven-plugin in your pom.

 <plugin>
  <groupId>org.codehaus.mojo</groupId>
  <artifactId>xslt-maven-plugin</artifactId>
  <version>1.0</version> 
 </plugin>

Change the artifactId and version. You might want to look for a more recent version of the plugin on the xml-maven-plugin page or the codehaus repository.

 <plugin>
  <groupId>org.codehaus.mojo</groupId>
  <artifactId>xml-maven-plugin</artifactId>
  <version><!-- look for the most recent version --></version> 
 </plugin>

Required fields

For both plugins it's required to configure the sourcedirectory, outputdirectory and the stylesheet. The xslt-maven-plugin uses the fields srcDir, destDir and xslFile. 

 <plugin>
  <artifactId>xslt-maven-plugin</artifactId>
  <configuration>
    <srcDir>src/main/xml</srcDir> <!-- default: ${project.build.sourceDirectory} -->
    <destDir>target/generated-resources/xml/xslt</destDir> <!-- default: ${project.build.outputDirectory} -->
    <xslFile>src/main/stylesheet.xsl</xslFile>
  </configuration>
 </plugin>

The xml-maven-plugin uses the fields dir, outputDir and stylesheet as part of a transformationSet.

 <plugin>
  <artifactId>xml-maven-plugin</artifactId>
  <configuration>
   <transformationSets>
    <transformationSet>
     <dir>src/main/xml</dir> <!-- default: ${project.basedir} --> 
     <outputDir>target/generated-resources/xml/xslt</outputDir> <!-- default: ${project.build.directory}/generated-resources/xml/xslt -->
     <stylesheet>src/main/stylesheet.xsl</stylesheet>
    </transformationSet>
   </transformationSets>
  </configuration>
 </plugin>

Parameters

In the following example we'll set the value of the parameter foo to bar.

 <plugin>
  <artifactId>xslt-maven-plugin</artifactId>
  <configuration>
    <!-- omitted other required fields -->
    <parameters>
     <foo>bar</foo>
    </parameters>
  </configuration>
 </plugin>

The xml-maven-plugin uses parameter entries with a name-value pair. 

 <plugin>
  <artifactId>xml-maven-plugin</artifactId>
  <configuration>
   <transformationSets>
    <transformationSet>
     <!-- omitted other required fields -->
     <parameters>
      <parameter>
       <name>foo</name>
       <value>bar</value>
      </parameter>
     </parameters>
    </transformationSet>
   </transformationSets>
  </configuration>
 </plugin>

Filename transformation

In the following example we will replace every appearance of foo in the filename with bar. 

 <plugin>
  <artifactId>xslt-maven-plugin</artifactId>
  <configuration>
    <!-- omitted other required fields -->
    <fileNameRegex>foo</fileNameRegex>
    <fileNameReplacement>bar</fileNameReplacement>
  </configuration>
 </plugin>

The xml-maven-plugin uses fileMappers to do the filename transformation.

 <plugin>
  <artifactId>xml-maven-plugin</artifactId>
  <configuration>
   <transformationSets>
    <transformationSet>
     <!-- omitted other required fields -->
     <fileMappers>
      <fileMapper implementation="org.codehaus.plexus.components.io.filemappers.ReplaceRegExpFileMapper">
       <pattern>foo</pattern>
       <replacement>bar</replacement>
       <replaceAll>true</replaceAll>
      </fileMapper>
     </fileMappers>
    </transformationSet>
   </transformationSets>
  </configuration>
 </plugin>
