This plugin enables your Swagger-annotated project to generate Swagger specs and customizable, templated static documents during the maven build phase. Unlike swagger-core, swagger-maven-plugin does not actively serve the spec with the rest of the application; it generates the spec as a build artifact to be used in downstream Swagger tooling.
- Supports Swagger Spec 2.0
- Supports SpringMvc & JAX-RS
- Quickly generates swagger.json and static document by
mvn compile - Use Handlebars as template to customize the static document.
- 3.1.0 supports Swagger Spec 2.0, support JAX-RS & SpingMVC. (ACTIVE!)
- 3.0.1 supports Swagger Spec 2.0, support JAX-RS & SpingMVC. (ACTIVE!)
- 2.3.4 supports Swagger Spec 1.2, support JAX-RS & SpringMVC. (Lazily maintained)
- 1.1.1 supports Swagger Spec 1.1. (No longer maintained)
Version 3.1.0+ of this plugin depends on the re-packaged/re-branded io.swagger.swagger-core dependency, which is formerly known as com.wordnik.swagger-core. If you use 3.1.0+, you must use the swagger-core dependency in the io.swagger namespace instead of the com.wordnik namespace, which is deprecated. You may see an example of migrating a project from 3.0.1 to 3.1.0 in the swagger-maven-plugin example project.

| name | description |
|---|---|
skipSwaggerGeneration |
If true, swagger generation will be skipped. Default is false. User property is swagger.skip. |
apiSources |
List of apiSource elements. One apiSource can be considered as a version of APIs of your service. You can specify several apiSource elements, though generally one is enough. |
| name | description |
|---|---|
springmvc |
Tell the plugin your project is a JAX-RS(false) or a SpringMvc(true) project |
locations required |
Classes containing Swagger's annotation @Api, or packages containing those classes can be configured here. Each item must be located inside a tag. Example: <locations><location>com.github.kongchen.swagger.sample.wordnik.resource</location><location>com.github.kongchen.swagger.sample.wordnik.resource2</location></locations> |
schemes |
The transfer protocol of the API. Values MUST be from the list: "http", "https", "ws", "wss". Each value must be located inside its own <scheme> tag. Example: <schemes><scheme>http</scheme><scheme>https</scheme></schemes> |
host |
The host (name or IP) serving the API. This MUST be the host only and does not include the scheme nor sub-paths. It MAY include a port. The host does not support path templating. |
basePath |
The base path on which the API is served, which is relative to the host. The value MUST start with a leading slash (/). The basePath does not support path templating. |
descriptionFile |
A Path to file with description to be set to Swagger Spec 2.0's info Object |
info required |
The basic information of the api, using same definition as Swagger Spec 2.0's info Object |
securityDefinitions |
You can put your security definitions here, see more details below |
templatePath |
The path of a handlebars template file, see more details below. |
outputPath |
The path of the generated static document, not existed parent directories will be created. If you don't want to generate a static document, just don't set it. |

externalDocs |
URL Reference to external documentation |
responseMessageOverrides |
Default response message overrides of type @ApiResponse. Example: <responseMessageOverrides><responseMessageOverride><code>401</code><message>Unauthenticated - could not authenticate the user.</message></responseMessageOverride></responseMessageOverrides> |
If you'd like to generate a template-driven static document, such as markdown or HTML documentation, you'll need to specify a handlebars template file in templatePath.
The value for templatePath supports 2 kinds of path:
-
Resource in classpath. You should specify a resource path with a classpath: prefix. e.g:
classpath:/markdown.hbsclasspath:/templates/hello.html
-
Local file's absolute path. e.g:
${basedir}/src/main/resources/markdown.hbs${basedir}/src/main/resources/template/hello.html
There's a standalone project for the template files, fetch them and customize it for your own project.
There are 3 types of security definitions according to Swagger Spec: basic, apiKey and oauth2.
You can define multi definitions here, but you should fully follow the spec.
You can define a basic definition like this:
<securityDefinition>
<name>MybasicAuth</name>
<type>basic</type>
</securityDefinition>or define several definitions in a json file and specify the json path like this:
<securityDefinition>
<json>/securityDefinition.json</json>
</securityDefinition>The file will be read by getClass().getResourceAsStream, so please note the path you configured.
Alternatively, specify the absolute file path to the json definition file:
<securityDefinition>
<jsonPath>${basedir}/securityDefinition.json</jsonPath>
</securityDefinition>The securityDefinition.json file should also follow the spec, one sample file like this:
{
"api_key": {
"type": "apiKey",
"name": "api_key",
"in": "header"
},
"petstore_auth": {
"type": "oauth2",
"authorizationUrl": "http://swagger.io/api/oauth/dialog",
"flow": "implicit",
"scopes": {
"write:pets": "modify pets in your account",
"read:pets": "read your pets"
}
}
}Throughout the course of working with Swagger, you may find that you need to substitute non-primitive objects for primitive objects. This is called model substitution, and it is supported by swagger-maven-plugin. In order to configure model substitution, you'll need to create a model substitute file. This file is a simple text file containing n lines, where each line tells swagger-maven-plugin to substitutes a model class with the supplied substitute. These two classes should be separated by a colon (:).
com.foo.bar.PetName : java.lang.String
The above model substitution configuration would tell the plugin to substitute com.foo.bar.PetName with java.lang.String. As a result, the generated swagger.json would look like this ...
"definitions" : {
"Pet" : {
"properties" : {
...
"petName" : {
"type" : "string"
}
...
}
}
... instead of like this:
"definitions" : {
"Pet" : {
"properties" : {
...
"petName" : {
"$ref" : "#/definitions/PetName"
}
...
}
}
The model substitution file will be read by getClass().getResourceAsStream, so please note the path you configured.
You can instruct swagger-maven-plugin to skip processing the parameters of certain types by adding the following to your pom.xml:
<typesToSkip>
<typeToSkip>com.foobar.skipper.SkipThisClassPlease</typeToSkip>
<typeToSkip>com.foobar.skipper.AlsoSkipThisClassPlease</typeToSkip>
</typesToSkip>
This requires at least swagger-maven-plugin version 3.1.1-SNAPSHOT.
If you'd like to exclude certain @ApiModelPropertys based on their access values, you may do so by adding the following as a child node of apiSource in your pom.xml:
<apiModelPropertyAccessExclusions>
<apiModelPropertyAccessExclusion>secret-property</apiModelPropertyAccessExclusion>
</apiModelPropertyAccessExclusions>
The above setting would prevent internalThing from appearing in the swagger spec output, given this annotated model:
...
@ApiModelProperty(name = "internalThing", access = "secret-property")
public String getInternalThing() {
return internalThing;
}
...
Note: In order to use apiModelPropertyAccessExclusions, you must specify both the name and access fields of the property you wish to exclude. Additionally, apiModelPropertyAccessExclusions requires at least swagger-maven-plugin version 3.1.1-SNAPSHOT.
When defining the Swagger API with JAX-RS, it is possible to specify common parameters by defining an @Api class that only contains fields annotated with JAX-RS parameter annotations. Note that this class should not contain any @Path or HTTP method annotation in order to consider it as a declaration of common parameters. When a common parameter is specified in another JAX-RS resource class, the parameter will have a reference to the common parameter.
The result of having common parameters and parameter references can be seen in the test file swagger-common-parameters.json. The @Api class used to generate this example can be seen in the test file JaxrsReaderTest.java.
You can instruct swagger-maven-plugin to deploy the generated swagger.json by adding the following to your pom.xml:
<swaggerDirectory>${project.build.directory}/swagger-ui</swaggerDirectory>
<attachSwaggerArtifact>true</attachSwaggerArtifact>
or custom.json by adding the following to your pom.xml:
<swaggerDirectory>${project.build.directory}/swagger-ui</swaggerDirectory>
<swaggerFileName>custom</swaggerFileName>
<attachSwaggerArtifact>true</attachSwaggerArtifact>
The above setting attaches the generated file to Maven for install/deploy purpose with swagger-uias classifier and json as type
Enables or disables the static Json.mapper config, by setting the feature of a known enum to true or false respectively.
N.B. Inner class fully qualified domain names are using $

If you have package dependency conflict issues, such as jackson, joda-time, or jsr311-api. Run
mvn dependency:tree
to check which package introduces the one conflicts with yours, and then you can use <exclusion> configuration in pom.xml to exclude it.
Here's an example:
To exclude javax.ws.rs:jsr311-api:jar:1.1.1:compile from swagger-jaxrs_2.10:
<dependency>
<groupId>com.wordnik</groupId>
<artifactId>swagger-jaxrs_2.10</artifactId>
<version>1.3.2</version>
<exclusions>
<exclusion>
<groupId>javax.ws.rs</groupId>
<artifactId>jsr311-api</artifactId>
</exclusion>
</exclusions>
</dependency>To build from source and run tests, you should:
mvn install
React
Typescript
Django
Laravel
Facebook
Microsoft
