I need to move the war generated to some other directory with maven goal.
I know how to move it to another location by adding configuration in pom.xml but i need to do it with a goal.
Which i can run directly without using pom.xml
like: mvn jboss-as:deploy-only deploys jboss with war generated without including any plugin specific configuration in POM.
Their are some restrictions to plugins which can be used in pom. So need to use Maven Goal only

I have a big local maven project that contains multiple modules which are inturn maven projects and are dependent on one another.
Ex.
parent pom.xml
<pom>
<module1> #jar
<module2> #dependent_on_module1.jar
<module3> #
</pom>
I have mentioned the sequence to build those modules in the parent pom.xml .
I also mentioned where to place the artifacts when they're built in groudId and artifactId.
But in the dependencies for all those modules, I have mentioned a common local system path for all those modules.
Is there any way to copy all the artifacts which are being created for modules when maven build is performed on the parent pom to a specific directory that can be dynamically mentioned when the maven command is run.
I have searched for maven copy command. But looks like it's not going to do what I want.
Any suggestions?
I have a Non-Java Maven project. By default the deploy goal generates a JAR file, however I would like to generate a zip file instead that should be published to nexus at a later phase.
If I create the zip file manually and place it in the target folder, Maven is not publishing it to nexus, it only publishes the JAR file automatically created.
So my question is: Is there any way to upload to nexus all the content of the target folder? If not, how do I tell Maven not to create a jar file and create a custom zip instead?
Maven has the deploy:deploy-file goal which can be configured in your pom.xml It can be used to upload arbitrary files, including zips.
You can avoid the creation of a jar if you change <packaging> to pom.
Running into a small problem. I have a spring-maven project. And there are some external jars I need to add into the POM which I did using .
Now to build the WAR file we are using an Ant Maven task i.e. artifact:mvn providing the argument war:war.
Here somehow my external jars are not getting added to the WAR file i.e. WEB-INF/lib
Can some one please let me know if I am missing something. Below is my pom entry
<dependency>
<groupId>{test}</groupId>
<artifactId>Test</artifactId>
<version>1.0</version>
<scope>system</scope>
<systemPath>${project.basedir}/lib/test.jar</systemPath>
</dependency>
Best solution is to start using a repository manager (a.k.a "Maven proxy server") and install the needed artifacts (test.jar) into the repository manager and use it as a usual dependency instead of using system scope via systemPath.
Calling mvn war:war via Ant does not make sense and shows you should learn how Maven works.
Change the packaging type in your pom file to war and you can simply call maven via:
mvn clean package
and everything should work. But this is only gues cause you didn't show your full pom file.
Install the test.jar locally using mvn install:install-file (docs). Now you can remove the system scope (and the systemPath) and everything will work out of the box.
I don't have a Maven project. What I have is a jar with the pom.xml embedded in the file. When I deploy this via the Artifactory GUI, Artifactory finds the pom and deploys it with the jar. It even recognizes the groupId, artifactId, and version.
When I try using mvn deploy:deploy-file it fails. If I extract the pom, and run mvn deploy:deploy-file with the -DpomFile=pom.xml, it works. Is there a way of deploying this jar with the embedded pom via the Maven command line? Or, do I need to extract the pom.xml first?
I have not heard of the possibility to specify the pom file from archive. I think it is unlikely to be an option, because Maven itself is just a light-weight program, which runs with plugins; and it needs some configurations to run with; and all references to plugins to be used are in those files.
Consider writing an Ant script that will extract the file, run mvn deploy:deploy-file -DpomFile=pom.xml and then delete the file.
The solution looks not very nice, I know, but it should help.
This is an Artifactory feature and not standard Maven behaviour.
Keep in mind that, for example, if you use dependency:unpack-dependencies or the assembly plugin to create some sort of über jar there would be multiple pom.xml files within the jar under the /META-INF/ path so it would be very difficult to select which pom was the true pom.
I'm building a maven archetype project. As parameter (serviceDescriptor), I'm passing path to an xml file. When the generate goal is successfully executed, I would like to have the serviceDescriptor file in src/main/resources. Based on maven archetype documentation, it seems that is not possible but, there should be a way to do it.
I have spent couple of days on this and I think that I have found a reasonable solution.
As I mention in the question, I'm passing the file path as required property to the archetype:generate.
I had to implement a simple plug-in that is executed after archetype generate is finishing. This plug-in is coping the file into src/main/resources, read some data from the file and update the pom.xml setting some properties. In order to be able to modify the pom.xml file I'm using maven-model-2.0 archetype as dependency in maven plug-in. It offers Maven MvenXpp3Reader and MavenXpp3Writer classes that allows to safe modify pom.xml.
In order to tell to archetype project to execute plug-in at the end of generate phase of archetype:
mvn archetype:generate -goals=plugin_groupId:plugin_artifactId:goal
The downside is that the plug-in should be available in a accessible repository or local repo.
