quoting from maven war plugin usage page :
<project>
...
<build>
<plugins>
<plugin>
<groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId>
<artifactId>maven-war-plugin</artifactId>
<version>2.1.1</version>
<configuration>
<webappDirectory>/sample/servlet/container/deploy/directory</webappDirectory>
</configuration>
</plugin>
</plugins>
</build>
...
</project>
How do i clean the content of the directory defined in the <webappDirectory>/sample/servlet/container/deploy/directory</webappDirectory> before exploding the war file ?
In my experience, the folder defined as the webappDirectory wont get cleaned, and so will have nonrelated files that was part of the webapp.
It'll be cool if i can add something to the current command im currently using to clean the webappDirectory, which is something like this :
mvn -o clean <cleanWebappDirectory here?> install war:exploded
Thank you !
You may want to look at adding the maven clean plugin, specifying the requisite folder to be cleaned. Something like below... Note that the directory should be relative.
<build>
[...]

I need to export all the compiled class files as a jar to a directory of a local testserver. I would like to let maven do this automatically.

To build I first clean and then package via IntelliJ's Maven plugin. When I package I would like it to package the jarfile to my testserver so I don't have to move it over manually after every build.
Use Maven Ant plugin to custom code what you want to after a particular goal:
Using Ant with Maven

You need to configure maven-jar-plugin and configure its outputDirectory as per your requirements, you can see the details on this link.

I need to produce a simple app for my customer configure and run at their site. I am using the Spring framework, so I have a number of config files that must be on the class path. I am using Maven2 with Netbeans as my IDE.
I am able to create and run my app using Netbeans/Maven and I am using the Application Assembler Maven plugin to generate the runnable application. All this works fine except that my Spring config files have to be placed in src/main/resources which means that they get packaged into the resulting JAR file.
I need my customer to be able to modify the config files to do their testing, but it's not reasonable to ask them to modify the copies that are packaged in the JAR.
There are perhaps a number of solutions, but it seems to me that the simplest would be to get Maven to not package the app and the config files into a JAR at all, just leaving them in something like a classes directory from which they can be run. This would allow the user to modify the config files easily. Unfortunately I can't figure out how to get Maven to "package" the app in this manner, or how to get the AppAssembler to generate the resulting runnable.
Here is an extract of my pom.xml that may help illustrate what I am trying to do:

Neither single packed jar file or bunch of unpacked classes files are good format for professional client delivery. Look at those brilliant apache apps like tomcat, ant and maven, they are shipped as a tar.gz or zip file, after download, simply extract them and you will get a nice and clean directory structure:
conf --> put config file like *.properties, logback.xml here
doc --> readme.txt, userguide.doc etc
lib --> put you core.jar with dependency jar file here
run.bat --> run script for Windows
run.sh --> run script for Unix
We can do these kinds of stuff with Maven as well. Note that you should design and implement your core jar to read *.properties from the conf directory properly. then use maven-assembly-plugin pack you app into this classical directory structure.

<!-- Pack executable jar, dependencies and other resource into tar.gz -->

If not misleading, I think you want to let the jar and config to be separated, with jar exposed for client's testing.
The following can do this for you using copy-maven-plugin, it can accomplish almost tasks what assembly-plugin would do ,ex: copy, dependency and much more - download, upload ,move ,... .

<configuration>

<!--copy your scripts to ${myOutPutPath}/bin-->

<targetPath>${myOutPutPath}/bin</targetPath>
<directory>${project.basedir}/src/main/scripts</directory>

<targetPath>${myOutPutPath}/conf</targetPath>
<directory>${project.basedir}/src/main/config</directory>

</plugin>
Package main jar and put to your ${myOutPutPath}
<plugin>
<groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId>

<version>2.3.1</version>
<!-- The configuration of the plugin -->

<outputDirectory>${myOutPutPath}</outputDirectory>
<!-- Configuration of the archiver -->

<!-- Manifest specific configuration -->

<!-- Classpath is added to the manifest of the created jar file. -->
<addClasspath>true</addClasspath>
<!--

-->
<classpathPrefix>lib/</classpathPrefix>
<!-- Specifies the main class of the application -->

</manifest>
<!-- you need to add some classpath by yourself, like conf here for client to use-->
<manifestEntries>
<Class-Path>conf/</Class-Path>
</manifestEntries>
</archive>
</configuration>
</plugin>
then package the lib jar to lib directory under jar directory.

I'm working on a project that used ant. I had a target dist that would basically do jar first, and then install the application into a directory.
This means, it would create directories like bin/, lib/ and config/ in the installation directory, and then copy the relevant files into each of these directories.
My question is two-fold:
Is there any maven goal that does this kind of thing?
If not, I want to do maven dist and make this happen. How would you suggest I accomplish this using Maven?
If I can't have my own "target" (like dist), then what would be the best way?
Bottom line: I want to do all this, but don't want to alter the behavior of the default "targets" like compile and package etc.
Thanks,
jrh
PS: I'm using maven version 2.2.21
I don't know what would go in config, but lib and bin is easy.
To copy all dependencies to a folder just do this:
<plugin>
<groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId>
<artifactId>maven-dependency-plugin</artifactId>
<executions>
<execution>
<id>copy-dependencies</id>
<phase>package</phase>
<goals>
<goal>copy-dependencies</goal>
</goals>
<configuration>
<outputDirectory>
${project.build.directory}/dist/lib
</outputDirectory>
</configuration>
</execution>
</executions>
</plugin>
To output your jar to a bin folder do this (reference page):
<plugin>
<groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId>
<artifactId>maven-jar-plugin</artifactId>
<configuration>
<finalName>${project.artifactId}</finalName>
<outputDirectory>${project.build.directory}/dist/bin</outputDirectory>
</configuration>
</plugin>
Ah, there are additional requirements:
Bottom line: I want to do all this, but don't want to alter the behavior of the default "targets" like compile and package etc.
In this case I'd use a profile to turn this on:
<profile>
<id>dist</profile>
<build>
<plugins>
<!-- insert stuff from above here -->
</plugins>
</build>
</profile>
Now you would do mvn clean package -Pdist to get your dist directory and if you don't add the profile, you get default behaviour.
Basically, things work differently in maven from the way they do in ant. There are no targets, there are only lifecycle phases and plugin goals.
You can either execute a lifecycle phase, which will call all maven plugin goals that are bound to all phases up to this one (e.g. if you do mvn compile, the following phases will be executed: validate, initialize, generate-sources, process-sources, generate-resources, process-resources, compile). But there is no (easy) way to define a lifecycle phase named dist.
Or you can execute a specific plugin goal (you can actually execute multiple phases and / or plugin goals). E.g. you could write your own dist plugin and call it using mvn dist:dist, but I wouldn't recommend that because you are using existing functionality and the profile solution should be a pretty good fit.
You could try writing an assembly descriptor for the assembly plugin (or search google for a suitable one).
Something like this
<assembly
xmlns="http://maven.apache.org/plugins/maven-assembly-plugin/assembly/1.1.2"
xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"
xsi:schemaLocation=
"http://maven.apache.org/plugins/maven-assembly-plugin/assembly/1.1.2
http://maven.apache.org/xsd/assembly-1.1.2.xsd">
<id>dist</id>
<formats><format>zip</format></formats>
<fileSets>
<fileSet>
<directory>src/main/config</directory>
<outputDirectory>config</outputDirectory>
<useDefaultExcludes>true</useDefaultExcludes>
</fileSet>
</fileSets>
<files>
<file>
<source>${project.build.directory}/${project.artifactId}.jar</source>
</file>
</files>
<dependencySets>
<dependencySet>
<useProjectArtifact>false</useProjectArtifact>
<outputDirectory>lib</outputDirectory>
</dependencySet>
</dependencySets>
</assembly>
will create a ${project.artifactId}-dist.zip inside your target directory. The zip file will be laid out like
yourProjectName/
yourProjectName/config/...
yourProjectName/lib/...
yourProjectName/${project.artifactId}.jar
It looks like the assembly plugin will only create compressed files, it won't just copy them to a dist folder.
Seans answer is good and I almost went for it until I found out about the appassembler plugin http://mojo.codehaus.org/appassembler/appassembler-maven-plugin/.
See here for an example https://github.com/khmarbaise/maven-training/tree/master/502-assembly-plugin
It is called as part of the package lifecycle.

The descriptors it references are fairly straigtforward and it also creates a batch and shell script for you to run your application!
You cannot have maven dist, with NetBeans (and other IDEs I believe) you can create a custom action dist which executes as mvn install -Pdist (or mvn clean package -Pdist, as suggested by Sean).
I have defined the following profile in pom.xml:
<profiles>
<profile>
<id>dev</id>
<build>
<plugins>
<plugin>
<artifactId>maven-antrun-plugin</artifactId>
<executions>
<execution>
<phase>dev</phase>

<goal>run</goal>
</goals>
<configuration>
<tasks>
<delete file="src/main/application/META-INF/data-sources.xml"/>
<copy file="src/main/resources/data-sources-dev.xml" tofile="src/main/application/META-INF/data-sources.xml"/>
</tasks>
</configuration>
</execution>
</executions>

<plugin>
<artifactId>maven-surefire-plugin</artifactId>
<configuration>
<skip>true</skip>
</configuration>
</plugin>
</plugins>
</build>
</profile>
</profiles>
The issues is that it doesn't seem to work!
mvn help:effective-pom -P dev
Does echo also the profile.
However, if I do
mvn -X -Pdev install
The delete / copy part is not visible in the logs.
There is no phase with the name dev. Please specify a correct phase.
I've just copy-pasted your configuration into a basic pom and it works just fine. Are you sure it doesn't appear in the config as well as the profile? If you redirect the output to a file and search for "antrun" I suspect you'll see that it is declared in the build section of the effective pom.
Your antrun plugin configuration needs to bind to a valid phase for its packaging type before it will be executed. If you want the contents to be available in the jar (assuming jar packaging), this needs to be before the package phase. I would suggest process-resources.
So change:
<phase>dev</phase>
to:
<phase>process-resources</phase>
I'm using the maven cobertura plugin to generate coverage reports, but for some reason, the instrument goal gets stuck in an infinite loop.
In my classes directory (named bin), an infinite loop occurs and creates directories named generated-classes/cobertura/generated-classes/cobertura...and on and on as long as I let the instrument goal run. Inside each of the cobertura directories are my instrumented classes. Any idea why this might occur?
Can you post your pom file? Or at least the relevant sections? You should have something like the following:
<build>
<pluginManagement>
<plugins>
...snip...
<!-- cobertura code coverage plugin -->
<plugin>
<groupId>org.codehaus.mojo</groupId>
<artifactId>cobertura-maven-plugin</artifactId>
<version>2.2</version>
<configuration>
<formats>
<format>xml</format>

</formats>
</configuration>
</plugin>

</reporting>
Also, are you following the standard maven directory layout for your source? Where is your pom file with respect to your source files, and what does your directory layout look like?
