How to delete .original file after Spring boot maven build - spring

Question

After built, we are getting two jars.
One myjar.jar with all dependencies and another one myJar.jar.original without dependencies. How to delete the myJar.jar.original file ?
<build>
<finalName>myJar</finalName>
<plugins>
<plugin>
<groupId>org.springframework.boot</groupId>
<artifactId>spring-boot-maven-plugin</artifactId>
<executions>
<execution>
<id>default-jar</id>
<phase>none</phase>
</execution>
</executions>
<configuration>
<mainClass>${start-class}</mainClass>
</configuration>
</plugin>
</plugins>
</build>

Answer 1

This is how you could do it with maven-antrun-plugin:
<plugin>
<groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId>
<artifactId>maven-antrun-plugin</artifactId>
<version>1.7</version>
<executions>
<execution>
<phase>install</phase>
<goals>
<goal>run</goal>
</goals>
<configuration>
<tasks>
<delete file="target/myJar.jar.original" />
</tasks>
</configuration>
</execution>
</executions>
</plugin>

Answer 2

Based on the question apparently there are two possible ways you are getting myJar.jar.original.
1. There might be repackage configuration in your pom.xml which repackages a jar or war that is built during the package phase of the Maven lifecycle.
Here is sample pom.xml
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<project xmlns="http://maven.apache.org/POM/4.0.0" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"
xsi:schemaLocation="http://maven.apache.org/POM/4.0.0 https://maven.apache.org/xsd/maven-4.0.0.xsd">
<modelVersion>4.0.0</modelVersion>
<!-- ... -->
<build>
<plugins>
<plugin>
<groupId>org.springframework.boot</groupId>
<artifactId>spring-boot-maven-plugin</artifactId>
<version>2.2.1.RELEASE</version>
<executions>
<execution>
<goals>
<goal>repackage</goal>
</goals>
</execution>
</executions>
</plugin>
</plugins>
</build>
</project>
If the above configuration is present then you simple $ mvn package command will generate myJar.jar.original and myJar.jar
$ mvn package
$ ls target/*.jar
target/myJar.jar target/myJar.jar.original
Secondly you might be using maven repackage to build you mvn
$ mvn package spring-boot:repackage
$ ls target/*.jar
target/myproject-1.0.0.jar target/myproject-1.0.0.jar.original
So please check your maven configuration and if you have the repackage in your pom than please remove it. Else if you are building using "$ mvn package spring-boot:repackage" than i would suggest you "$ mvn package"
