Required Parameters

Name	Type	Since	Description
artifactId	String	-	The Maven artifactId. Included here as a simple property of the mojo itself to facilitate usage of BeanUtils.copyProperties() to copy properties between Mojo's and Ant tasks Default value is: ${project.artifactId}. User property is: artifactId.
dataXMLDir	File	-	The directory where data XML files will be written Default value is: ${basedir}/src/main/impex. User property is: dataXMLDir.
dateFormat	String	-	The format to use for dates/timestamps Default value is: yyyyMMddHHmmss z. User property is: dateFormat.
forceMojoExecution	boolean	-	Setting this parameter to true will force the execution of this mojo, even if it would get skipped usually. Default value is: false. User property is: forceMojoExecution.
includeVersionInComment	boolean	-	By default the version of the maven plugin being used during the build will be included as part of a comment in the XML. Set this to false to prevent this. Useful if you are committing files to SCM and don't want a change in the version of the plugin to show up as a change to the data. Default value is: true. User property is: includeVersionInComment.
url	String	-	The connect URL of the database. User property is: url.

Optional Parameters

Name	Type	Since	Description
antCompatibilityMode	boolean	-	If true, files will be exported in a format that the Ant impex tasks can understand Default value is: false. User property is: antCompatibilityMode.
comment	String	-	Additional comment that gets placed into the generated XML document. Anything included here gets appended to the default value Default value is: Auto-generated by the maven-impex-plugin v1.0.2 User property is: comment.
driver	String	-	Database driver classname. This parameter is optional, as the correct JDBC driver to use is detected from the url in almost all cases (works for Oracle, MySQL, Derby, PostGresSQL, DB2, H2, HSQL, SQL Server). If a driver is explicitly supplied, it will be used in place of the JDBC driver the automatic detection logic would have chosen. User property is: driver.
driverProperties	Properties	-	Additional properties for the JDBC driver
encoding	String	-	The encoding to use when reading/writing files. If not specified this defaults to the platform specific encoding of whatever machine the build is running on. Default value is: ${project.build.sourceEncoding}. User property is: encoding.
excludes	String	-	Comma separated list of regular expressions for tables to exclude from the export User property is: excludes.
includes	String	-	Comma separated list of regular expressions for tables to include in the export User property is: includes.
password	String	-	The password for the database user. If not specified this is automatically generated by platform specific logic for converting the artifact id. For example: ks-embedded-db becomes KSEMBEDDED for Oracle and ksembedded for MySQL User property is: password.
schema	String	-	The schema to export. This parameter is optional, as the schema to export is automatically derived from platform specific logic that converts the artifactId. For example: ks-embedded-db becomes KSEMBEDDED for Oracle, and ksembedded for MySQL If schema is supplied, the supplied value will be used instead of the value derived from the artifactId User property is: schema.
skip	boolean	-	When true, skip the execution of this mojo Default value is: false.
startMavenLogger	boolean	-	When true, redirect logging from Log4j and Jakarta Commons Logging to the Maven logging system Default value is: true. User property is: startMavenLogger.
targetDatabase	String	-	The type of database we are targeting (eg oracle, mysql). This is optional if url is supplied as the database type will be automatically detected based on the url. If targetDatabase is explicitly supplied it will override the type selected by the automatic detection logic. User property is: targetDatabase.
username	String	-	The user name to connect to the database. If not specified this is automatically generated by platform specific logic for converting the artifact id. For example: ks-embedded-db becomes KSEMBEDDED for Oracle and ksembedded for MySQL User property is: username.
