Mojo

All Known Implementing Classes:

AbstractMojo
```
public interface Mojo
```
This interface forms the contract required for Mojos to interact with the Maven infrastructure.
It features an execute() method, which triggers the Mojo's build-process behavior, and can throw a MojoExecutionException or MojoFailureException if error conditions occur.
Also included is the setLog(...) method, which simply allows Maven to inject a logging mechanism which will allow the Mojo to communicate to the outside world through standard Maven channels.

Modifier and Type	Method	Description
`void`	`execute()`	Perform whatever build-process behavior this `Mojo` implements. This is the main trigger for the `Mojo` inside the `Maven` system, and allows the `Mojo` to communicate errors.
`Log`	`getLog()`	Furnish access to the standard Maven logging mechanism which is managed in this base class.
`void`	`setLog(Log log)`	Inject a standard `Maven` logging mechanism to allow this `Mojo` to communicate events and feedback to the user.

```
void execute()
      throws MojoExecutionException,
             MojoFailureException
```
    Perform whatever build-process behavior this Mojo implements.
    This is the main trigger for the Mojo inside the Maven system, and allows the Mojo to communicate errors.
    
    Throws:
    
    MojoExecutionException - if an unexpected problem occurs. Throwing this exception causes a "BUILD ERROR" message to be displayed.
    
    MojoFailureException - if an expected problem (such as a compilation failure) occurs. Throwing this exception causes a "BUILD FAILURE" message to be displayed.
  - setLog
```
void setLog(Log log)
```
    Inject a standard Maven logging mechanism to allow this Mojo to communicate events and feedback to the user.
    
    Parameters:
    
    log - a new logger
  - getLog
```
Log getLog()
```
    Furnish access to the standard Maven logging mechanism which is managed in this base class.
    
    Returns:
    
    a log4j-like logger object which allows plugins to create messages at levels of "debug", "info", "warn", and "error". This logger is the accepted means to display information to the user.
