JarCastingjudge-d-contract-publisher-maven-plugin 
Maven plugin to help integrate your project with judge-d in order to validate communication between microservices.
Usage
Add plugin to your pom.xml file:
<plugin>
<groupId>com.hltech</groupId>
<artifactId>judge-d-contract-publisher-maven-plugin</artifactId>
<version>0.3.2</version>
</plugin>
If you have multi module maven app then you can add plugin to root pom.xml and set inherited to false:

</plugin>
To publish contracts, run publish mojo:
./mvnw judge-d-contract-publisher:publish
-Dpublish.judgeDLocation=https://judge-d.tech.hl.uk
-Dpublish.capabilities=rest
-Dpublish.swaggerLocation=./build/swagger/
-Dpublish.expectations=rest
-Dpublish.pactsLocation=./build/pacts/
Parameters
- publish.judgeDLocation - url of judge-d instance to which you contracts will be uploaded (required)
- publish.expectations - list of comma separated values which determines expectations of you service against providers
- publish.capabilities - list of comma separated values which determines what capabalities your service expose
- publish.version - optional parameter to allow version override, by default value from pom.xml is used
Neither expectations nor capabilities are required for now but nothing will be published in such case
Expectations
Depending on what values you provide as expectations you also need to pass some additional parameters to make things work:
- publish.pactsLocation - required for rest expectation, points to directory where pacts files are stored
- publish.vauntLocation - required for jms expectation, points to directory where vaunt files are stored
Capabilities
Similar to expectations, you need to pass additional parameters for capabilities also:
- publish.swaggerLocation - required for rest capability, points to directory where swagger specification is stored
- publish.vauntLocation - required for jms capability, points to directory where vaunt files are stored
