How can I launch "bower install" then "spring-boot:run" using Maven? - maven

Question

I'm a studdent and I does not understand something with Maven in my project.
I use spring-boot and angular 1 within the same repository and I need a solution to first execute a "bower install" before using the maven pluggin "spring-boot:run".
I'd to know if it's possible to customize the maven command.
I use IntelliJ and all I do is pressing the start button in my main class
package fr.studionline;
import org.springframework.boot.SpringApplication;
import org.springframework.boot.autoconfigure.EnableAutoConfiguration;
import org.springframework.boot.autoconfigure.SpringBootApplication;
#SpringBootApplication
#EnableAutoConfiguration
public class StudionlineBackApplication {
public static void main(String[] args) {
SpringApplication.run(StudionlineBackApplication.class, args);
}
}
The bower_components directory is in another directory than the main class as described in the picture below :

Thanks in advance if you can help me understand how it work.
I will respond to any questions if there is something missing in my question.
UPDATE:
I did try the front-end-maven pluggin with this pom configuration :
<build>
<resources>
<resource>
<directory>src/resources</directory>
</resource>
</resources>
<plugins>
<plugin>
<groupId>org.springframework.boot</groupId>
<artifactId>spring-boot-maven-plugin</artifactId>
</plugin>
<plugin>
<groupId>com.github.eirslett</groupId>
<artifactId>frontend-maven-plugin</artifactId>
<!-- Use the latest released version:
https://repo1.maven.org/maven2/com/github/eirslett/frontend-maven-plugin/ -->
<version>1.4</version>
<executions>
<execution>
<id>bower install</id>
<goals>
<goal>bower</goal>
</goals>
<configuration>
<arguments>install</arguments>
</configuration>
</execution>
</executions>
<configuration>
<workingDirectory>src/main/resources/static</workingDirectory>
</configuration>
</plugin>
</plugins>
</build>
and this was what happend when I execute the command frontend:bower

But I still doesn't understand how to launch it with Intellij. Should I do mvn run instead of clicking on the "Run" button ?

Answer 1

Have a look at the frontend-maven-plugin. In particular it has a bower runner.
<execution>
<id>bower install</id>
<goals>
<goal>bower</goal>
</goals>
<configuration>
<!-- optional: The default argument is actually
"install", so unless you need to run some other bower command,
you can remove this whole <configuration> section.
-->
<arguments>install</arguments>
</configuration>
</execution>
Check the "Optional Configuration" section to see how to configure your front end directory. In your case:
<plugin>
<groupId>com.github.eirslett</groupId>
<artifactId>frontend-maven-plugin</artifactId>
<!-- optional -->
<configuration>
<workingDirectory>src/main/resources/static</workingDirectory>
</configuration>
</plugin>
