+# Reqstool Maven Plugin
+
+Maven build plugin for [reqstool](https://github.com/reqstool/reqstool-client) that assembles requirements traceability artifacts.
+
+## Overview
+
+Collects `@Requirements` and `@SVCs` annotations from compiled Java code, combines them with test results, and packages everything into a ZIP artifact for analysis by the reqstool CLI.
+
+## Installation
+
+Add the plugin to your `pom.xml`:
+
+```xml
+
+ io.github.reqstool
+ reqstool-maven-plugin
+ 1.0.4
+
+
+
+ assemble-and-attach-zip-artifact
+
+
+
+
+ ${project.basedir}/docs/reqstool
+
+
+```
+
+## Usage
+
+```bash
+mvn clean verify
+```
+
+The plugin generates a ZIP artifact in `target/reqstool/` containing requirements, annotations, and test results.
+

+ 1.0.4
+
+
+
+ assemble-and-attach-zip-artifact
+
+
+
+
+
+
+----
+
+== Default Behavior
+
+The plugin automatically:
+
+1. Runs during the `verify` phase (after all tests complete)
+2. Combines annotation files from `target/generated-sources/` and `target/generated-test-sources/`
+3. Creates a ZIP artifact in `target/reqstool/` containing:
+ * `requirements.yml` (from `./reqstool/` directory)
+ * `software_verification_cases.yml` (optional)
+ * `manual_verification_results.yml` (optional)
+ * `annotations.yml` (combined/merged annotations)
+ * `test_results/` (XML test results from Surefire and Failsafe)
+ * `reqstool_config.yml` (configuration manifest)
+4. Attaches the ZIP for deployment to Maven repositories
+
+== Minimal Setup
+
+Create a `reqstool/` directory in your project root with a `requirements.yml` file:
+
+[source]
+----
+my-project/
+├── pom.xml
+├── reqstool/
+│ └── requirements.yml (mandatory)
+└── src/
+----
+
+Run `mvn verify` and the ZIP artifact will be created automatically.
+
+== Prerequisites
+
+* Maven 3.9+
+* Java 21+
+* A `requirements.yml` file in the dataset directory (default: `./reqstool/`)

+Main goal that:
+
+* Bound to the `verify` phase (ensures tests have run)
+* Combines annotation files
+* Assembles ZIP artifact
+* Attaches artifact for deployment
-The default `` the plugin runs during is `verify`, this is done to ensure all test files are generated before the plugin runs.
+=== Default Lifecycle
+The plugin automatically integrates into the standard Maven build:
+1. Plugin is configured with an execution binding
+2. The `assemble-and-attach-zip-artifact` goal runs during `verify` phase
+3. Goal runs after all tests complete (Surefire and Failsafe)
+4. ZIP artifact is created in `target/reqstool/`
+5. Artifact is attached for deployment to Maven repositories
+The ZIP artifact will be published with classifier `reqstool` (e.g., `my-app-1.0.0-reqstool.zip`).
