Is it possible to override the default name of the jar file created running the assembly:single goal? I want to add a jar with dependencies that has a non-standard name. I am using version 2.6 of the plugin.
Yes, you need to use the finalName configuration attribute. Note that you probaby also want to remove the assembly id that is appended by default to the final name, with the help of the appendAssemblyId attribute.
Sample configuration:
<plugin>
<artifactId>maven-assembly-plugin</artifactId>
<version>2.6</version>
<configuration>
...
<finalName>myFinalName</finalName>
<appendAssemblyId>false</appendAssemblyId>
</configuration>
</plugin>
The proper way to do this (as mentioned on Maven JIRA tracker) is to set the build.finalName and not to use the readonly finalName plugin property. Here is an example how to get rid of both the "jar-with-dependencies" and the version, which is very useful for creating a stable name and eliminating potentially confusing existence of 2 JARs for use in README instructions:
<build>
<finalName>${project.artifactId}</finalName>
<plugins>
<plugin>
<groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId>
<artifactId>maven-assembly-plugin</artifactId>
<version>3.3.0</version>
<executions>
<execution>
...
<configuration>
<appendAssemblyId>false</appendAssemblyId>
...
</configuration>
</execution>
</executions>
</plugin>
</plugins>
</build>

I am pulling in dependencies from a parent and need most of the dependencies in there.
But I also wish to be able to exclude 2 dependencies entirely. I am not able to edit the parent
thus this needs to be excluded from my POM file. Is this even possible? I've seen examples for overrides and quite a bit of suggestion to fix the parent POM which as mentioned, I can't do at this time.
Using Maven 3.3.x
My POM file
<parent>
<groupId>com.company.stuff</groupId>
<artifactId>our-parent</artifactId>
<version>1.7</version>
</parent>
<!-- other dependencies and build and plugins -->
The parent in above pulls in following plugins which I wish to exclude entirely.
<plugin>
<groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId>
<artifactId>maven-pmd-plugin</artifactId>
<version>${some.version}</version>
</plugin>
<plugin>
<groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId>
<artifactId>maven-checkstyle-plugin</artifactId>
<version>${some.version}</version>
</plugin>
Is there a way around this? Please advice. Thanks.
Tried with Thiago's suggestion, same outcome.
<build>
<plugins>
<plugin>
<groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId>
<artifactId>maven-checkstyle-plugin</artifactId>
<version>${checkstyle.version}</version>
<executions>
<execution>
<id>maven-checkstyle-plugin</id>
<phase>none</phase>
</execution>
</executions>
</plugin>
</plugins>
</build>
Why not just skip the plugin executions?
You could set the skip parameter of both plugins to true.
<plugin>
<groupId>group</groupId>
<artifactId>artifact</artifactId>
<executions>
<execution>
<id>ID_AS_IN_PARENT</id> <!-- id is necessary sometimes -->
<phase>none</phase>
</execution>
</executions>
</plugin>
In Maven, is there a way to get a list of the active profiles, say, as a property or as a text file?
More specifically, when I run:
mvn resources:resources -P MyProfile
I want to get the string MyProfile somewhere I can read it into my Java program.
Maven 3.2.1
Thanks
Edit
I attempted to configure the Maven Help plugin to run the active-profiles goal whenever the goal resources:resources is run by configuring an execution to participate in the process-resources phase as shown below. That did not work either ...:
<packaging>jar</packaging>
<build>
<plugins>
<!-- ... -->
<plugin>
<groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId>
<artifactId>maven-help-plugin</artifactId>
<version>2.2</version>
<configuration>
<output>${basedir}/target/active-profiles.txt</output>
</configuration>
<executions>
<execution>
<phase>process-resources</phase>
<goals>
<goal>active-profiles</goal>
</goals>
</execution>
</executions>
</plugin>
</plugins>
</build>
You could try this maven plugin. The configuration below will create a text file that will contain the profiles that were active during the build.
<plugin>
<groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId>
<artifactId>maven-help-plugin</artifactId>
<version>2.2</version>
<configuration>
<output>${basedir}/target/active-profiles.txt</output>
</configuration>
</plugin>
In quite a lot of Apache project there is a file called DEPENDENCIES which is generated from the POM and all POMs of transitive dependencies. However I couldn't find any information about how these files are generated. I suspect there is a Maven plugin for this...
Here is an example:
https://raw.githubusercontent.com/sonatype/maven-demo/master/DEPENDENCIES
How can I generate such a file?
I have made an example to show how this works:
<build>
<plugins>
<plugin>
<artifactId>maven-remote-resources-plugin</artifactId>
<executions>
<execution>
<goals>
<goal>process</goal>
</goals>
<configuration>
<resourceBundles>
<resourceBundle>org.apache:apache-jar-resource-bundle:1.4</resourceBundle>
</resourceBundles>
</configuration>
</execution>
</executions>
</plugin>
</plugins>
</build>
The tricky plugin is the maven-remote-resouces-plugin which can handle velocity templates which will to the trick here.
I am trying to get maven to include an empty directory which is just used for output files created by the webapp (which is why it is empty).
I have googled and the maven-resources-plugin seemed to be the best option for this, the documentation states that the property includeEmptyDirs is since 2.3 and I am using 2.4, however this seems to do nothing and so far the only way Ive managed to get the directory to create is by putting a text file into it, I dont really want to do this if Maven should be able to do this for me.
Can someone tell me what I am doing wrong? Below is my build section from the pom file:
<build>
<finalName>MyApp</finalName>
<plugins>
<plugin>
<artifactId>maven-compiler-plugin</artifactId>
<version>3.0</version>
<configuration>
<compilerVersion>1.7</compilerVersion>
<source>1.7</source>
<target>1.7</target>
</configuration>
</plugin>
<plugin>
<groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId>
<artifactId>maven-resources-plugin</artifactId>
<version>2.4</version>
<configuration>
<includeEmptyDirs>true</includeEmptyDirs>
</configuration>
</plugin>
</plugins>
</build>
Take a look at the maven-war-plugin which has a configuration item includeEmptyDirectories.
I have maven-jaxb2-plugin. I generate jaxb objects and refer it in other classes of project.I've put jaxb plugin and compiler plugin under pluginManagement tag. Maven is executing compile phase first than generate phase where as if i remove pluginManagement tag, it works fine, first generate phase gets executed and all jaxb object gets generated and then compile phase gets executed. Due to pluginManagement tag, my project doesn't compile. Is pluginManagement tag used only for defining all the plugins in parent pom so that child pom can refer to these plugins ? My project is not a multi-module project.
<pluginManagement>
<plugins>
<plugin>
<groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId>
<artifactId>maven-compiler-plugin</artifactId>
<configuration>
<source>1.6</source>
<target>1.6</target>
<encoding>UTF-8</encoding>
</configuration>
</plugin>
<plugin>
<groupId>org.jvnet.jaxb2.maven2</groupId>
<artifactId>maven-jaxb2-plugin</artifactId>
<executions>

</executions>

<generatePackage>com.common.dto</generatePackage>
<schemaIncludes>
<include>*.xsd</include>
</schemaIncludes>
<removeOldOutput>false</removeOldOutput>
<strict>false</strict>
<verbose>true</verbose>

</pluginManagement>
Yes, <pluginManagement> is used to create ready-to-use configurations, but does not automatically activate your plugins - you still need to include them.
So in effect you are right, <pluginManagement>, just like <dependencyManagement> are very useful in the parent pom to centralize plugin configurations and dependency management.
Effectively, 'declaring' your plugins in the right module benefits from a much more compact syntax:
<plugins>
<plugin>
<groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId>
<artifactId>maven-compiler-plugin</artifactId>
</plugin>
<plugin>
<groupId>org.jvnet.jaxb2.maven2</groupId>
<artifactId>maven-jaxb2-plugin</artifactId>
</plugin>
</plugins>
