How to release all artifacts under the target folder? - maven

I am using the following commands
mvn release:prepare release:perform
This goal runs fine but only deploys the main jar for the project.
What have I tried ?
I tried using the deploy plugin with its deploy-file goal but it is uploading the artifact to jetbrains repository.
mvn org.apache.maven.plugins:maven-deploy-plugin:3.0.0-M1:deploy-file -Dfile="target/foo-bar-jar-with-dependencies.jar" -Durl="<my-repo-url>" -Darguments=-DskipTests -DrepositoryId="repo-id"
Here is the output
Uploading to repo-id: <my-repo-url>/org/jetbrains/annotations/13.0/annotations-13.0.jar
I have hidden some parameters and named within <> for privacy
Here are the artifacts in my target folder
src/
target/
|______ foo-bar.jar <<< this is the main jar
|______ foo-bar-distribution.zip
|______ foo-bar-jar-with-dependencies.jar
pom.xml
Question ?
How do I upload additional artifacts using maven ?
Update
By default deploy plugin was picking up some other settings (saw it using -X with maven) so I had to explicitly mention the path to my pom (yes, even though it was in pwd). That seems to work.
Here is what I saw in the debug logs
[DEBUG] Using META-INF/maven/org.jetbrains/annotations/pom.xml as pomFile
Adding the pomFile attribute with deploy plugin does the trick. Here is the updated command.
mvn org.apache.maven.plugins:maven-deploy-plugin:3.0.0-M1:deploy-file -Dfile="target/foo-bar-jar-with-dependencies.jar" -Durl="<my-repo-url>" -Darguments=-DskipTests -DrepositoryId="repo-id" -DpomFile="pom.xml"
Here is my build section for the pom

Executing Maven Project [duplicate]

I have a code base which I want to distribute as jar. It also have dependency on external jars, which I want to bundle in the final jar.
I heard that this can be done using maven-assembly-plug-in, but I don't understand how. Could someone point me to some examples.
Right now, I'm using fat jar to bundle the final jar. I want to achieve the same thing using maven.
Note: If you are a spring-boot application, read the end of answer
Add following plugin to your pom.xml
The latest version can be found at
...
<build>
<plugins>
<plugin>
<groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId>
<artifactId>maven-assembly-plugin</artifactId>
<version>CHOOSE LATEST VERSION HERE</version>
<configuration>
<descriptorRefs>
<descriptorRef>jar-with-dependencies</descriptorRef>
</descriptorRefs>
</configuration>
<executions>
<execution>
<id>assemble-all</id>
<phase>package</phase>
<goals>
<goal>single</goal>
</goals>
</execution>
</executions>
</plugin>
</plugins>
</build>
...
After configuring this plug-in, running mvn package will produce two jars: one containing just the project classes, and a second fat jar with all dependencies with the suffix "-jar-with-dependencies".
if you want correct classpath setup at runtime then also add following plugin
<plugin>
<groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId>
<artifactId>maven-jar-plugin</artifactId>
<configuration>
<archive>
<manifest>
<addClasspath>true</addClasspath>
<mainClass>fully.qualified.MainClass</mainClass>
</manifest>
</archive>
</configuration>
</plugin>
For spring boot application use just following plugin (choose appropriate version of it)
<plugin>
<groupId>org.springframework.boot</groupId>
<artifactId>spring-boot-maven-plugin</artifactId>
<configuration>
<fork>true</fork>
<mainClass>${start-class}</mainClass>
</configuration>
<executions>
<execution>
<goals>
<goal>repackage</goal>
</goals>
</execution>
</executions>
</plugin>
You can use the maven-shade-plugin.
After configuring the shade plugin in your build the command mvn package will create one single jar with all dependencies merged into it.
Maybe you want maven-shade-plugin, bundle dependencies, minimize unused code and hide external dependencies to avoid conflicts.
<build>
<plugins>
<plugin>
<groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId>
<artifactId>maven-shade-plugin</artifactId>
<version>3.1.1</version>

actually, adding the
<archive>
<manifest>

<packageName>com.some.pkg</packageName>
<mainClass>com.MainClass</mainClass>

declaration to maven-jar-plugin does not add the main class entry to the manifest file for me.
I had to add it to the maven-assembly-plugin in order to get that in the manifest
You can use the onejar-maven-plugin for packaging. Basically, it assembles your project and its dependencies in as one jar, including not just your project jar file, but also all external dependencies as a "jar of jars", e.g.
<build>
<plugins>
<plugin>
<groupId>com.jolira</groupId>
<artifactId>onejar-maven-plugin</artifactId>
<version>1.4.4</version>
<executions>
<execution>
<goals>
<goal>one-jar</goal>
</goals>
</execution>
</executions>
</plugin>
</plugins>
</build>
Note 1: Configuration options is available at the project home page.
Note 2: For one reason or the other, the onejar-maven-plugin project is not published at Maven Central. However jolira.com tracks the original project and publishes it to with the groupId com.jolira.
An alternative is to use the maven shade plugin to build an uber-jar.
<plugin>
<groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId>
<artifactId>maven-shade-plugin</artifactId>
<version> Your Version Here </version>
<configuration>
<!-- put your configurations here -->
</configuration>
<executions>
<execution>
<phase>package</phase>
<goals>
<goal>shade</goal>
</goals>
</execution>
</executions>
</plugin>
Read if you want to use the maven-assembly-plugin.
As other answers have already outlined, it seems that the maven-shade-plugin offers more features and is the recommended plugin to build a fat jar, but in case you would like to use the maven-assembly-plugin the following plugin configuration will work.
The answer of #jmj explains that the correct classpath can be setup with an additional maven-jar-plugin, but this will only add the classpath to the original jar and not the fat jar. The information must instead be directly included into the configuration section of the maven-assembly-plugin.
<build>
<plugins>
<plugin>
<groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId>
<artifactId>maven-assembly-plugin</artifactId>
<version>3.4.2</version>
<configuration>
<archive>
<manifest>
<addClasspath>true</addClasspath>
<mainClass>com.package.YourMainClass</mainClass>
</manifest>
</archive>
<descriptorRefs>
<descriptorRef>jar-with-dependencies</descriptorRef>
</descriptorRefs>
</configuration>
<executions>
<execution>
<id>assemble-all</id>
<phase>package</phase>
<goals>
<goal>single</goal>
</goals>
</execution>
</executions>
</plugin>
</plugins>
</build>
When you now run maven package, your normal and fat jar will be created and you can run your fat jar with java -jar yourJar.jar.

How to remove a a specific directory from the Maven's target directory at the end of the build?

I have a task to unpack all the jars mentioned in the pom.xml and then jar the unpacked content into one single jar. I am able to do this using the unpack-dependency goal of the dependency plugin and the jar plugin.
However, after i generate the new jar, I want to delete the folder that was created after unpacking. I am using the following code snippet in my pom.xml(Please read the comments above each plugin).
<build>
<plugins>
<!-- This part of the code is used to unpack all the dependencies mentioned in my pom.xml -->
<plugin>
<groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId>
<artifactId>maven-dependency-plugin</artifactId>
<version>2.10</version>
<executions>
<execution>
<id>unpack-dependencies</id>
<phase>package</phase>
<goals>
<goal>unpack-dependencies</goal>
</goals>
<configuration>
<includes>**/*.class</includes>
<outputDirectory>${project.build.directory}/alternateLocation</outputDirectory>
<overWriteReleases>false</overWriteReleases>
<overWriteSnapshots>true</overWriteSnapshots>
</configuration>
</execution>
</executions>
</plugin>
<!-- This part of the code is used for creating a jar with all the contents of the "alternateLocation" directory above -->
<plugin>
<groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId>
<artifactId>maven-jar-plugin</artifactId>
<version>2.4</version>
<executions>
<execution>
<phase>package</phase>
<goals>
<goal>jar</goal>
</goals>
<configuration>
<classesDirectory>${project.build.directory}/alternateLocation</classesDirectory>
<outputDirectory>${project.build.directory}</outputDirectory>
<finalName>abc</finalName>
</configuration>
</execution>
</executions>
</plugin>
<!-- I am using this part of the code to delete the "alternateLocation" after everything is done, but it deletes the target directory instead -->
<plugin>
<artifactId>maven-clean-plugin</artifactId>
<version>3.0.0</version>
<executions>
<execution>
<id>auto-clean</id>
<phase>install</phase>
<goals>
<goal>clean</goal>
</goals>
<configuration>
<filesets>
<fileset>
<directory>${project.build.directory}/alternateLocation</directory>
</fileset>
</filesets>
<excludeDefaultDirectories>${project.build.directory}</excludeDefaultDirectories>
</configuration>
</execution>
</executions>
</plugin>
</plugins>
</build>
The clean plugin is basically deleting the target directory by default.
So how can I delete the "alternateLocation" folder from the target directory at the end of the build. (I guess you can do it using the maven-antrun-plugin but i don't want to use this plugin.).
You can solved this by using the maven-assembly-plugin via the predefined descriptor jar-with-dependencies which can be done by the following:
<project>
[...]
<build>
[...]
<plugins>
<plugin>
<artifactId>maven-assembly-plugin</artifactId>
<version>2.6</version>
<configuration>
<descriptorRefs>
<descriptorRef>jar-with-dependencies</descriptorRef>
</descriptorRefs>
</configuration>
<executions>
<execution>
<id>make-assembly</id>
<phase>package</phase>
<goals>
<goal>single</goal>
</goals>
</execution>
</executions>
</plugin>
[...]
</project>
Than you don't need supplemental configuration.

How to resolve a Maven "The packaging for this project did not assign a file to the build artifact" error?

I’m using Maven 3.2.3. I used to be able to run “mvn clean install” on my WAR project and the WAR would get installed to my local repository. However, I recently added a configuration so that my WAR would be constructed in place (config is below). Now, when I run
mvn clean install
I get the error

Unable to get unpack-dependencies to run before jar:jar,

I cannot get maven-dependency-plugin/unpack-dependencies to run before maven-jar-plugin/jar when running mvn clean install from the command line.
Every time, I see it running jar:jar before the unpack stuff runs, I saw in my googling some talk of adding a pre-package phase to the maven lifecycle, doesn't seem to be working thought.
Basically I want to create a single jar file containing all necessary classes (all 2600 of them). This jar gets a Manifest which enables it to be run in the manner of:
java -jar blah.jar
If I ever get it to work...
And here's the xml snippet...

In your original question, replace the phase with the following phase.
<phase>prepare-package</phase>
this will cause the jars to be extracted first. For your problem, the shade solution is better, but I will still post this here as a reference for other with similar problems where shade does not help.
The output path is set to make sure that jar's contents end up in dir that the jar:jar goal packages (target/classes).

I had similiar issue with single jar creation.
My solutions incorporates standard maven-dependency plugin with unpack goal (unpacks all dependencies during compile process and move it into custom outputDirectory.
The secret is, JAR plugin takes all from target/classes directory and packs as a one JAR.
That's why I defined custom outputDirectory. Have a look at the code below:
<build>
<plugins>
<plugin>
<artifactId>maven-jar-plugin</artifactId>
<configuration>
<finalName>${project.artifactId}</finalName>
<archive>
<manifest>

</configuration>
</execution>
</executions>
</plugin>
</plugins>
<resources>
<resource>
<directory>src/main/resources</directory>
</resource>
</resources>
You may run it by identifying the goal sequentially as
"mvn clean dependency:unpack jar:jar install"
I hope this may help you to achieve the requirement
