Maven: custom assembly deployment - maven

Due to need for heavy customization I did developed my own Groovy plugin, which creates ZIP archive, which is 100% ready for deployment (like Maven assembly plugin does). Still, if I run
mvn clean install ...
command it creates an assembly (single ZIP file), puts it to ${project.build.directory} (.../target) and that's it.
How do I tell Maven, that it's now part of deployment and I would like to deploy this ZIP file?

You have two options:
Use buildhelper:attach-artifact:
<plugin>
<groupId>org.codehaus.mojo</groupId>
<artifactId>build-helper-maven-plugin</artifactId>
<version>1.8</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>
Alternatively (and better), you could include the necessary code in your own plugin:
#Component
protected MavenProject project;
#Component
protected MavenProjectHelper projectHelper;
...
projectHelper.attachArtifact(project, "jar", resource.getClassifier(), targetArchive);

Actually it worked in Groovy too (running from groovy-maven-plugin):
def helper =
session.lookup("org.apache.maven.project.MavenProjectHelper");
helper.attachArtifact(project, "zip", _classifier, new File(_archiveFilename));
N.B.:
Both _classifier and _archiveFilename should be declared and initialized by your code.

how to generate additional jar which having correct and complete manifest file for Bamboo deployment?

Basically, I want to generate a jar file named <project.name>.jar in addition to default jar file(which in my case is something like <project.name> + <project.version>.jar). NOTICE : This <project.name>.jar is all the same to default jar but the name.
And this additional jar should have a manifest file like below which is the manifest file of default generated jar
anifest-Version: 1.0
Archiver-Version: Plexus Archiver
Built-By: XXX
Start-Class: com.XXXX.XXX.Application
Spring-Boot-Version: 1.3.1.RELEASE
Created-By: Apache Maven
Build-Jdk: 1.8.0_74
Main-Class: org.springframework.boot.loader.JarLauncher
I am adding additional block in my as follows
<plugin>
<groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId>
<artifactId>maven-jar-plugin</artifactId>
<executions>
....
<execution>
<id>copy-jar</id>
<phase>package</phase>
<goals><goal>jar</goal></goals>
<configuration>
<finalName>${project.name}</finalName>
</configuration>
</execution>
<execution>
</plugin>
But in my case, the manifest file generated in my addition jar don't have following impart fields:
Start-Class
Main-Class
...
So it couldn't be deployed.
I know the requirement sounds weird, but the question is clear, how to make maven generate a jar which having a correct and complete manifest file for deployment?

</configuration>
</execution>
</executions>
</plugin>
Concerning your maven-jar-plugin section:
You are having three executions: one for the test-jar goal, two for the jar goal
one of them re-using the default execution id (default-jar) to specify the finalName entry, but not specifying any manifest configuration. According to this configuration, your manifest file should also be empty then, not coherent with the description provided by your question then.
the additional jar goal execution has a further configuration with customizated option, nothing wrong here, except that you except to have a properly filled manifest file as part of it, while (again) there is no configuration for it.
A possible explanation would be that your pom also provides a pluginManagement section, with further configuration for the maven-jar-plugin, or a parent pom at its top which would then specify a further configuration for the same.
To double check this, you could run
mvn help:effective-pom -Doutput=eff-pom.xml
And check the content of the generated eff-pom.xml file. That would be the single source of truth for your case.
Looking at your manifest entry:
Spring-Boot-Version: 1.3.1.RELEASE
Main-Class: org.springframework.boot.loader.JarLauncher
It makes quite clear that you are working on a Spring Boot project, normally having a Spring Boot parent pom which already configures the required manifest file. However, it makes use of a fat-jar (jar with dependencies or uber jar), not built via the maven-jar-plugin but via the maven-assembly-plugin.
As an example:
<plugin>
<artifactId>maven-assembly-plugin</artifactId>
<version>2.4</version>
<configuration>
<descriptors>
<descriptor>src/main/assembly/jar-with-dependencies.xml</descriptor>
</descriptors>
<archive>
<manifest>
<mainClass>org.springframework.boot.loader.JarLauncher</mainClass>
</manifest>
<manifestEntries>
<Start-Class>org.springframework.boot.load.it.jar.EmbeddedJarStarter</Start-Class>
</manifestEntries>
</archive>
</configuration>
<executions>
<execution>
<id>jar-with-dependencies</id>
<phase>package</phase>
<goals>
<goal>single</goal>
</goals>
</execution>
</executions>
</plugin>
Hence you should not look at the Jar Plugin solution, but rather add a further Assembly Plugin execution for the same.
Just quick share of some other aspects of this problem. actually pom file should never be in charge of deployment business(even though It could, but very likely bring into more issues in the future). This part should be fully managed by bamboo deploy script. That is what I eventually did.

IOException thrown when processing xsd dependencies in maven

I have a problem while processing .xsd file during my maven build.
I use jaxb2 plugin but I have to download external dependiencies from my .xsd files. The problem is that these dependencies (.xsd) are from enviroment which is unstable and very often my build fails because maven cannot download xsd file. How to configure jaxb plugin to force him to try download xsd few times to prevent build failure?

Author of the maven-jaxb2-plugin here.
You have two parts here: managing the downloads of external resources and compiling the schemas, rewriting "external" links to local files.
The first (managing downloads) is not in the scope of the maven-jaxb2-plugin, the second is supported with
catalogs.
In short, you can create a catalog file like this:
REWRITE_SYSTEM "http://www.w3.org" "w3c"
Or this:
REWRITE_SYSTEM "http://schemas.opengis.net" "maven:org.jvnet.ogc:ogc-schemas:jar::!/ogc"
And use this file to "rewrite" absolute links to local files or resources within Maven artifacts:
<configuration>
<catalog>src/main/resources/catalog.cat</catalog>
</configuration>
As for the first part, I don't think managing downloads with retries, continuations and all other stuff should be in the scope of the JAXB2 Maven plugin.
ps. You don't need build-helper-maven-plugin/add-source with maven-jaxb2-plugin, source directory is added automatically.
Apparently the maven-jaxb2-plugin does not support such a feature. (And neither does the maven-download-plugin nor even the maven-dependency-plugin).
Three solutions come into my mind at the moment (plus two and a half inspired by LIttle Ancient Forest Kami's comment) [Numbers reflect the precedence of what I would do]:
Use a CI tool (Jenkins, etc.) that supports retry on job failure. [1]
Handmade:
Use the GMavenPlus plugin with a script ... [2]
Use the Maven AntRun plugin with a script ... [3]
Use the Exec Maven plugin with a program ... [5]
... that performs the download and retry and bind it to the generate-resources phase in your project's POM.
Create a Maven plugin with appropriate parameters (url, outputDirectory, retryCount) that uses the maven-download-plugin and performs the retry. Bind its goal to the generate-resources phase in your project's POM. [4]
Create a check-download Maven project that uses the maven-download-plugin bound to the generate-resources phase to download the .xsd. [6]
Create a shell script that contains the following (in pseudo code):
download:
counter++
<check-download project>/mvn generate-resources
if error and counter < maxRetryCount goto download
if not error
<your project>/mvn ...
else
display appropriate error message
There is also a question Maven download retry? from 2005. Unanswered.

Build a site zip with Maven

actually, I generate a maven site containing the documentation of my project. It works very well, in fact if works so well that my customers wants to get that site as a deliverable (for obvious documentation purpose).
How can I tell Maven to build a zip of the whole site and deploy it to my artifacts manager (Nexus)? I've tried several things, but if I understand correctly, deploying artifacts and generating the site are using different livecycle, and the site generation occurs after the deployment of the artifacts..
I could obviously get the generated site from the location it's deployed during site-deploy, but I would greatly appreciate an automatic and centralized way...
PS: giving access to the customer to our internal site is NOT an option.
Here is a working solution delegated to a Maven profile to isolate the behavior (and speed-up normal builds), but which could also be integrated in the default build if required (although not recommended).

<classifier>site</classifier>
</artifact>
</artifacts>
</configuration>
</execution>
</executions>
</plugin>
</plugins>
</build>
</profile>
</profiles>
What the profile is actually doing:
Configuring an execution of the Maven Site Plugin, attached to the prepare-package phase and running the site and jar goals (as also suggested by #khmarbaise).
Renaming the file from jar to zip via the Copy Rename Maven Plugin
Attaching the zip to the build via the Build Helper Maven Plugin and its attach-artifact goal
As such, running
mvn clean install -Psite-zip
Will also install in your local Maven cache the zipped site. The deploy phase would do the same on your target Maven repository then.
Note that the Maven Site Plugin and the Copy Plugin must be declared in the order above to follow the required flow within the same phase.
Also note that if zip is not a strong requirement, you can then just skip the Copy and Build Helper executions and only use the Maven Site execution. By default the jar created providing the site is already attached to the build (and hence it will be installed and deployed automatically). In order to have the zip, we had to disable this behavior (<attach>false</attach>) and re-attach it via the Build Helper plugin.
The generated zipped has automatically a classifier, which is site in this case.
You can use the maven-site-plugin.

jaxb2-maven-plugin with external XSD dependencies

We have a common set of XSDs (datatypes, vocabulary, etc.) we're generating with the jaxb2-maven-plugin in its own Maven project. In a second project, I need to refer to one or more of those XSDs at compile time but don't want them included in the resulting artifact. I've created a catalog file, which works fine except I get everything in it.
<plugin>
<groupId>org.codehaus.mojo</groupId>
<artifactId>jaxb2-maven-plugin</artifactId>
<version>1.6</version>
<executions>
<execution>
<goals>
<goal>xjc</goal>
</goals>
</execution>
</executions>
<configuration>
<outputDirectory>${basedir}/src/main/java</outputDirectory>
<target>2.1</target>
<catalog>catalog.cat</catalog>
</configuration>
I've pored over the plugin docs, but they're woefully light on detail. Is there any way to get reuse out of common schemas without every project having to take a copy of them?
Thanks
This is something my maven-jaxb2-plugin can do:
Compiling schema from Maven Artifact
The documentation site is currently very unstable so here's snippets of the documentation.

Configuring Javadoc aggregation in Maven

I'm trying to create an aggregate Javadoc site for all the modules in my project, but I can't seem to configure the plugin in a way that is satisfactory. Mainly, I can't seem to get it to aggregate the javadocs all the while detecting links and excluding certain packages. Essentially, it appears the configuration of the plugin is ignored entirely.
I have a root pom.xml that refers to a bunch of submodules and contains the following configuration:
<modules>
<module>foo</module>
<module>bar</module>
</modules>
<build>
<plugins>
<plugin>
<groupId>org.maven.apache.plugins</groupId>
<artifactId>maven-javadoc-plugin</artifactId>
<version>2.9</version>
<executions>

<detectJavaApiLink>true</detectJavaApiLink>
<detectLinks>true</detectLinks>
<excludePackageNames>*.testing.*</excludePackageNames>
</configuration>
</execution>
</executions>
</plugin>
</plugins>
</build>
But when I run mvn javadoc:aggregate with this setup, I end up with a javadoc site that has no links to any of the referenced libraries and still includes all the testing classes.
I don't even see the plugin attempting to download the package-list for each declared link source.
On the other hand, generating the javadoc for each individual module works well and as expected.
What am I getting wrong?
Plugin configurations can be placed on two levels; inside the execution tag or outside of it ("global").
When the configuration is inside the execution tag it belongs to that particular execution. In your case you will have to run mvn site for it to execute since it is bound to that phase.
When the mvn javadoc:aggregate command is used it looks for the "global" configuration. In your pom there is no such configuration and thus it uses the default configuration.
Change your plugin configuration to this instead:
<plugin>
<groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId>
<artifactId>maven-javadoc-plugin</artifactId>
<version>2.9</version>
<configuration>
<links>
<link>http://docs.oracle.com/javase/7/docs/api</link>

<detectJavaApiLink>true</detectJavaApiLink>
<detectLinks>true</detectLinks>
<excludePackageNames>*.testing.*</excludePackageNames>

<executions>
<execution>
<id>aggregate</id>
<phase>site</phase>
<goals>
<goal>aggregate</goal>
</goals>
</execution>
</executions>
</plugin>
You can place a configuration inside the execution part to override and specialize the configuration for that execution.
BTW The <groupId> is wrong in your pom. It should be
<groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId>
and not
<groupId>org.maven.apache.plugins</groupId>
