Deploy xml files during maven release - maven

During maven release process, maven will try to help you upload source, javadoc, and jar into nexus or artifactory, except those, I also want to upload something such as xml files.
Any one know how to config it? Maven deploy plugin seems very simple and dont provide such configuration for users.
Should I have to use deploy file goal instead? Or other ways?
Any comments are welcome.
Br,
Tim

Simplest solution for such things is to use the build-helper-maven-plugin like this:
<project>
...
<build>
<plugins>
<plugin>
<!-- add configuration for antrun or another plugin here -->
</plugin>
...
<plugin>
<groupId>org.codehaus.mojo</groupId>
<artifactId>build-helper-maven-plugin</artifactId>
<version>1.9.1</version>
<executions>
<execution>
<id>attach-artifacts</id>
<phase>package</phase>
<goals>
<goal>attach-artifact</goal>
</goals>
<configuration>
<artifacts>
<artifact>
<file>some file</file>
<type>extension of your file </type>
<classifier>optional</classifier>
</artifact>
...
</artifacts>
</configuration>
</execution>
</executions>
</plugin>
</plugins>
</build>
</project>
You can also create a separate resources package and use it via maven-remote-resources-plugin in other projects.

How to upload custom artifact after it was build using a windows bat command?

I have a windows batch file to create me a file myUser.aaa.
And I call this bat file using exec-maven-plugin
<plugins>
<plugin>
<groupId>org.codehaus.mojo</groupId>
<artifactId>exec-maven-plugin</artifactId>
<version>1.1</version>
<executions>
<execution>
<phase>pre-integration-test</phase>
<goals>
<goal>exec</goal>
</goals>
</execution>
</executions>
<configuration>
<executable>scripts/MyBat.bat</executable>
</configuration>
</plugin>
</plugins>
What I want to know is how can I install the file to my repo after the MyBat.bat was executed?
I first wanted to use an mvn command from the bat file to upload it but this job gets executed from a Jenkins server and it has its own maven config. If I run mvn from the bat file it will refer to the maven on the local system.
I would suggest to use the build-helper-maven-plugin to add the supplemental artifact to your build and afterwards it will be deployed in one go with the rest which can be done like this:
<project>
...
<build>
<plugins>
...
<plugin>
<groupId>org.codehaus.mojo</groupId>
<artifactId>build-helper-maven-plugin</artifactId>
<version>1.9.1</version>
<executions>
<execution>
<id>attach-artifacts</id>
<phase>package</phase>
<goals>
<goal>attach-artifact</goal>
</goals>
<configuration>
<artifacts>
<artifact>
<file>some file</file>
<type>extension of your file </type>
<classifier>optional</classifier>
</artifact>
...
</artifacts>
</configuration>
</execution>
</executions>
</plugin>
</plugins>
</build>
</project>
May be you should bind the exec-maven-plugin to an earlier phase or the build-helper-maven-plugin to a later phase. I would suggest to use prepare-package for the exec-maven-plugin. Furthermore i would suggest to use uptodate versions of the plugins.

Where do generated DEPENDENCIES files come from?

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.

maven execute java command

I want to execute a jar file with parameters from maven. The command I want to execute is listed below. I have the perf4j jar file in the dependency. The times.log file is in they filesystem.
java -jar perf4j-0.9.16.jar times.log
Thanks
You might want to take a look # exec-maven-plugin
first
mvn clean install
than
mvn exec:java -Dexec.mainClass="com.java.App" -Dexec.args="Args"
What do you really want to do ? Using a jar (which is a dependency) to monitor your app ?
Did you took a look at maven exec plugin ?
<project>
...
<build>
<plugins>
<plugin>
<groupId>org.codehaus.mojo</groupId>
<artifactId>exec-maven-plugin</artifactId>
<version>1.2.1</version>
<executions>
<execution>
...
<goals>
<goal>exec</goal>
</goals>
</execution>
</executions>
<configuration>
<executable>maven</executable>
<!-- optional -->
<workingDirectory>/tmp</workingDirectory>
<arguments>
<argument>-X</argument>
<argument>myproject:dist</argument>
...
</arguments>
</configuration>
</plugin>
</plugins>
</build>

I had looked at maven exec plugin but wasn't sure how and where to specify the jar file name, hence thanks for your responses, but I was looking at a little more info especially with jar file. With some trial and error the following worked. I had to find the main class to use from the jar file. mvn install runs the file and produces the following output:
<build>
<plugins>
<plugin>
<groupId>org.codehaus.mojo</groupId>
<artifactId>exec-maven-plugin</artifactId>
<executions>
<execution>
<phase>install</phase>
<goals>
<goal>java</goal>
</goals>
<configuration>
<mainClass>org.perf4j.LogParser</mainClass>
<arguments>
<argument>InlineLogging.log</argument>
</arguments>
</configuration>
</execution>
</executions>
</plugin>
</plugins>
</build>
<dependencies>
<dependency>
<groupId>org.perf4j</groupId>
<artifactId>perf4j</artifactId>

How can I generate Flash HTML wrappers in a WAR using Flexmojos and Maven 3?

I have two Maven projects: one to build a SWF and another one to build a WAR that contains it. The WAR needs to contain a Flash wrapper for the SWF. Flexmojos is apparently capable of doing this via the HTML wrapper mojo, but this doesn't work with Maven 3. See here for more details.
Is there a workaround for this?
My SWF POM has the following:
<plugin>
<groupId>org.sonatype.flexmojos</groupId>
<artifactId>flexmojos-maven-plugin</artifactId>
<version>4.1-beta</version>
<configuration>
<parameters>
<swf>${project.artifactId}-${project.version}</swf>
<title>My application title</title>
<width>100%</width>
<height>100%</height>
<bgcolor>#ffffff</bgcolor>
</parameters>
</configuration>
</plugin>
and my WAR POM has the following:
<plugin>
<groupId>org.sonatype.flexmojos</groupId>
<artifactId>flexmojos-maven-plugin</artifactId>
<version>4.1-beta</version>
<extensions>true</extensions>
<executions>
<execution>
<id>wrapper</id>
<phase>generate-resources</phase>
<goals>
<goal>wrapper</goal>
</goals>
<configuration>
<wrapperArtifact>
<groupId>${project.groupId}</groupId>
<artifactId>the-swc-project</artifactId>
<version>${project.version}</version>
</wrapperArtifact>
<htmlName>index</htmlName>
</configuration>
</execution>
<execution>
<goals>
<goal>copy-flex-resources</goal>
</goals>
</execution>
</executions>
</plugin>
Upon further investigation, I discovered that the problem here is that Flexmojos tries to reconfigure the WAR plugin, but it does so in a way that doesn't work with Maven 3.
The fairly grim workaround that I found involved manually configuring the WAR plugin as follows:
<plugin>
<artifactId>maven-war-plugin</artifactId>
<version>2.1.1</version>
<configuration>
<warSourceExcludes>index.template.html</warSourceExcludes>
<webResources>
<resource>
<directory>target/war/work/wrapped-template</directory>
</resource>
</webResources>
</configuration>
</plugin>

Invoke a jar file in the M2 repository

I have a project, in which I want to invoke another Jar file in M2 repo during the post execution phase of the current project.
Sample skeleton of my POM
<plugin>
<groupId>org.codehaus.mojo</groupId>
<artifactId>exec-maven-plugin</artifactId>
<version>1.1</version>
<executions>
<execution>
<id>exec-one</id>
<phase>verify</phase>
<configuration>
executable>java</executable>
<arguments> <argument>-jar</argument>
<argument>JarToInvoke.jar</argument>
</arguments>
<**workingDirectory**>/C:/path to repo</workingDirectory>
</configuration>
<goals>
<goal>exec</goal>
</goals>
</execution>
</executions>
<dependencies> <dependency>
<groupId>GroupId of JarToInvoke</groupId>
<artifactId>JarToInvoke</artifactId>
<version>1.0.0-SNAPSHOT</version>
</dependency>
</dependencies>
</plugin>
</plugins>
I tried with maven-exec-plugin, but having the following issues;
Where I need to specify to JarToInvoke dependency ? As a project dependency or as a exec-plugin dependency ?
With hard coding the working directory(/C:/path to repo), I am able to invoke the JarToInvoke artifact. But it is not a good solution, because finally this project should run in any m/c with different OS's. So how can I make the exec-plugin to search for the JarToInvoke artifact in the M2 repo of the project(default classpath) ?
3.While hard coding the M2 repo path in the working directory, I was able to invoke the JarToInvoke artifact. But while running the JarToInvoke artifact, it throws another dependency issue, some of the log4j dependencies to the JarToInvoke could not find. I made the JarToInvoke as a shaded jar and it work as expected. But it is not a permanent or good solution(Because the shaded jar size is of 35 MB). How can I instruct the exec-plugin to look for the dependent Jars in M2 repo.
Please share your suggestions. Thanks in Advance.
This example page from the Exec plugin's documentation describes what you want I think.
If you could use the exec:java goal instead of exec:exec, finding the JVM is taken care of for you. You can also pull in either plugin dependencies or project dependencies by changing the includeProjectDependencies and includePluginDependencies configuration options of the plugin.
<plugin>
<groupId>org.codehaus.mojo</groupId>
<artifactId>exec-maven-plugin</artifactId>
<version>1.1</version>
<executions>
<execution>
<id>exec-one</id>
<phase>verify</phase>
<configuration>
<includeProjectDependencies>false</includeProjectDependencies>
<includePluginDependencies>true</includePluginDependencies>
<executableDependency>
<groupId>GroupId of JarToInvoke</groupId>
<artifactId>JarToInvoke</artifactId>
</executableDependency>
<!-- Look up the main class from the manifest inside your dependency's JAR -->
<mainClass>com.example.Main</mainClass>
<arguments>
<!-- Add any arguments after your JAR here --->
</arguments>
</configuration>
<goals>
<goal>java</goal>
</goals>
</execution>
</executions>
<dependencies>
<dependency>
<groupId>GroupId of JarToInvoke</groupId>
<artifactId>JarToInvoke</artifactId>
<version>1.0.0-SNAPSHOT</version>
</dependency>
</dependencies>
</plugin>
The only disadvantage is that you have to explicitly specify the main class in the JAR to run. You can look this up by opening up the manifest in the dependency JAR and read the Main-Class attribute.
If you really need to use exec:exec, you could use the Maven Dependency Plugin's copy-dependencies goal to copy dependencies from your local repository to a predefined location (such as ${project.build.directory}/exec-jars) and then you can feed this directory in the exec plugin's workingDirectory configuration option.
Probably an easier way to locate the absolute path to the jar file would be to use maven-dependency-plugin with properties goal.
