I was hoping someone could help me with maven deployments (typically run through the release plugin).
I want to deploy files other than just the packaged jar to the repo upon release, such as specific instruction documents and generated SQL files.
It would be good if i did not have to use deploy:deploy-file for each one. it would be best if I could just add each file to a list within my POM file and it would be picked up automatically for me upon release.
Either use the Maven Assembly Plugin to package them into an assembly that will get installed/deployed.
Or use the attach-artifact goal of the build-helper plugin:
<plugin>
<groupId>org.codehaus.mojo</groupId>
<artifactId>build-helper-maven-plugin</artifactId>
<version>1.5</version>
<executions>
<execution>
<id>attach-artifacts</id>
<phase>package</phase>
<goals>
<goal>attach-artifact</goal>
</goals>
<configuration>
<artifacts>
<artifact>
<file>some file</file>
<type>extension of your file</type>
<classifier>optional</classifier>
</artifact>
...
</artifacts>
</configuration>
</execution>
</executions>
</plugin>

I am trying to use Maven to generate an artifact for deploying on Vignette Portal. The packaging is exactly the same as a war artifact but the file should have car extension instead.
Options I've tried and I've not been able to complete.
Use war plugin and rename the final artifact (keeps adding .war extension)
Use assembly plugin with zip descriptor (not able to change .zip to .car extension)
Create a new packaging type as described here (can't use war plugin for .car extension)
Which would be the easiest 'Maven' way to generate the .car file? Could you give me some guidance?
Thank you.
I think it's not possible to rename the main deliverable artifact of a project.
Anyway, in the past, what I've done so far was making maven copy the file with a new name and then "attach" it to the deliverables of a build; by configuring two plugins:
maven-ant-run to copy
maven-build-helper to attach in order to be deployed to my repo along with the main artifact of my project.
<plugin>
<groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId>
<artifactId>maven-antrun-plugin</artifactId>
<executions>
<execution>
<phase>package</phase>
<configuration>
<target>
<copy file="${project.build.directory}/${project.build.finalName}.war"
tofile="${project.build.directory}/${project.build.finalName}.car" />
</target>
</configuration>
<goals>
<goal>run</goal>
</goals>
</execution>
</executions>
</plugin>
And the second:
<plugin>
<groupId>org.codehaus.mojo</groupId>
<artifactId>build-helper-maven-plugin</artifactId>
<executions>
<execution>
<id>attach-instrumented-jar</id>
<phase>verify</phase>
<goals>
<goal>attach-artifact</goal>
</goals>
<configuration>
<artifacts>
<artifact>
<file>${project.build.directory}/${project.build.finalName}.car</file>
<type>car</type>
</artifact>
</artifacts>
</configuration>
</execution>
</executions>
</plugin>
I hope that can help you. At least until you find a better solution.
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 am using Maven Assembly plugin to pack a jar file.
But when I run mvn package, maven always trigger the [jar:jar {execution: default-jar}] to create a default jar file.
So I will have 2 jar files (one created by Assembly plugin and one created by Maven jar which i don't want to be created).
How can I turn off the default-jar execution?
In my pom.xml, I am using: <packaging>jar</packaging>.
I don't want to change it to <packaging>pom</packaging>.
(...) So i will have 2 jar files (one created by assembly plugin and one created by maven jar which i dont want to be created).
Looks like you're doing pretty complicated things. Maybe Maven is not the right tool in your case.
How can I turn off the execution: default-jar.
You can set the <phase> of the corresponding execution to something unknown, like none:
<plugin>
<artifactId>maven-jar-plugin</artifactId>
<version>2.3.1</version>
<executions>
<execution>
<id>default-jar</id>
<phase>none</phase>
</execution>
</executions>
</plugin>
<plugin>
<artifactId>maven-assembly-plugin</artifactId>
<version>2.2</version>
<configuration>
<descriptorRefs>
<descriptorRef>jar-with-dependencies</descriptorRef>
</descriptorRefs>
</configuration>
<executions>
<execution>
<id>make-assembly</id>
<!-- this is used for inheritance merges -->
<phase>package</phase>
<!-- append to the packaging phase. -->
<goals>
<goal>single</goal>
<!-- goals == mojos -->
</goals>
</execution>
</executions>
</plugin>
This seems to work as long as you're providing something else to be installed, like an assembly (I only tested install). But of course, this is a hack.
While not a direct answer to the question, you could exclude the jar created by maven jar using <useProjectArtifact>false</useProjectArtifact>
I have a project (here called my-artifact) which needs to generate sources from a model file. I've created a maven-plugin (my-code-generator) which is used as described in the pom.xml excerpt below. It loads and processes the model.xml from my-artifact's resources and generates code using some predefined templates stored within the plugin. The question is how my-code-generator could access these templates as they are not in the project resources but within its own resources.
Thanks in advance

Just use the ClassLoader, to get resources from the MyCodeGenerator Maven plugin.
Add something like this to your MyCodeGeneratorMojo
URL getTemplate(String fileName) {
return this.getClass().getResource(fileName);
}
Within the MyCodeGenerator Maven plugin, add the template(s) to the src/main/resources directory (don't forget to use the correct package entry (directories) within that directory).
By including them in the jar file for the plugin and referencing them via classpath, via ClassLoader.getResourceAsStream.
By packaging them as another artifact, declaring them as a dependency, and calling the dependency-resolution API, which is a lot more work.
I have a multi-module Maven project.
By default when I build a web module, all sibling modules of type JAR it depends on are copied to WEB-INF/lib folder. I want output of sibling modules to be placed in WEB-INF/classes folder without packaging to JAR.
More general question may be: how to keep sibling modules' configuration files out of JARs so that they can be edited after deployment easily?
You could use an overlay, although that requires that the sibling be of type war rather than jar. There's also using the dependency plugin to unpack the jar, but it will only unpack the version in your local repository, not the one you just packaged.
As for your 'more general' question, there's the excludes tag for the jar plugin.
In case if somebody is interested, I found this solution. I had exactly the same issue.
