Renaming resources in Maven

March 29, 2023 by Tarik

Using the antrun-maven-plugin makes it easy, but in case you are looking for a more mavenish way which is supported within eclipse m2e, then you can use the copy-rename-maven-plugin <plugin> <groupId>com.coderplus.maven.plugins</groupId> <artifactId>copy-rename-maven-plugin</artifactId> <version>1.0.1</version> <executions> <execution> <id>rename-file</id> <phase>compile</phase> <goals> <goal>rename</goal> </goals> <configuration> <sourceFile>${project.build.outputDirectory}/default.DS_Store</sourceFile> <destinationFile>${project.build.outputDirectory}/.DS_Store</destinationFile> </configuration> </execution> </executions> </plugin> And in case you have any feedback/issues with … Read more

Buildr, Gradle or wait for Maven 3? [closed]

March 28, 2023 by Tarik

I wouldn’t expect too much from Maven 3. The people behind the Maven pedigree of build tools have always held the assumption that project builds are homogeneous, that is: all build problems fundamentally boil down to the same problem. This view of the world can be held fairly consistently in the face of opposing views … Read more

m2e lifecycle-mapping not found

March 28, 2023 by Tarik

The org.eclipse.m2e:lifecycle-mapping plugin doesn’t exist actually. It should be used from the <build><pluginManagement> section of your pom.xml. That way, it’s not resolved by Maven but can be read by m2e. But a more practical solution to your problem would be to install the m2e build-helper connector in eclipse. You can install it from the Window … Read more

How to get Maven to run war:exploded but not war:war

March 22, 2023 by Tarik

The solution is quite simple. You need to override the default execution of the war plugin to disable it and add your own execution (for exploded): <pluginManagement> <plugins> <plugin><!– don’t pack the war –> <groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId> <artifactId>maven-war-plugin</artifactId> <executions> <execution> <id>default-war</id> <phase>none</phase> </execution> <execution> <id>war-exploded</id> <phase>package</phase> <goals> <goal>exploded</goal> </goals> </execution> </executions> </plugin> </plugins> </pluginManagement>

Maven copy local file to remote server using SSH

March 20, 2023 by Tarik

The maven-deploy-plugin allows you to configure the deploy phase to deploy to a server using scp. There is a page in the documentation that describes how it can be done. I believe this will replace the normal deployment instead of add to it, so it may not be what you’re after. If you need to … Read more

Maven: Including jar not found in public repository

March 10, 2023 by Tarik

You can install the project yourself. Or you can use the system scope like the following: <dependency> <groupId>org.group.project</groupId> <artifactId>Project</artifactId> <version>1.0.0</version> <scope>system</scope> <systemPath>${basedir}/lib/project-1.0.0.jar</systemPath> </dependency> systemPath requires the absolute path of the project. To make it easier, if the jar file is within the repository/project, you can use ${basedir} property, which is bound to the root of … Read more

Maven – how can I add an arbitrary classpath entry to a jar?

March 10, 2023 by Tarik

I found that there is an easy solution for this problem. You can add a <Class-Path> element to <manifestEntries> element, and set <addClassPath>true</addClassPath> to <manifest> element. So value of <Class-Path> element is added to class-path automatically. Example: <plugin> <groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId> <artifactId>maven-jar-plugin</artifactId> <configuration> <archive> <manifest> <addDefaultImplementationEntries>true</addDefaultImplementationEntries> <addClasspath>true</addClasspath> <mainClass>your.main.Class</mainClass> </manifest> <manifestEntries> <Class-Path>../conf/</Class-Path> </manifestEntries> </archive> </configuration> </plugin>

How to display a list of available goals?

March 8, 2023 by Tarik

Since Maven is an open system of plugins, the best answer is probably “Google” ;-). If you mean all build lifecycle phases, they are static, and can be found at http://maven.apache.org/guides/introduction/introduction-to-the-lifecycle.html and at other places. Then, for a given plugin, the help plugin can be used to get the possible goals and all their parameters: … Read more

Where is the best place to specify maven repositories, pom.xml or settings.xml?

March 8, 2023 by Tarik

Where is the best place to specify required repositories for maven projects, pom.xml or settings.xml? What are the pros and cons of each location? What is best practice? I’d personally define the repositories required by a particular project in the project pom.xml because it keeps the build portable. The settings.xml file should be used for … Read more
