How to have java and exec in org.codehaus.mojo exec-maven-plugin? - maven

Question

This is the pom.xml we currently have:

And this is the pom.xml I thought we needed (it adds execution of the sencha cmd tool):

But for some reason the sencha cmd tool executes but the pre-existing execution of the Java org.codehaus.mojo does not happen anymore. What am I missing?

Answer 1

By adding your executions description to the maven plugin you have overwritten the default behaviour of the maven the maven plugin. The Plugin doesn't execute the ExecJavaMojo.class from the plugin anymore. Your aim seems to run the ExecJavaMojo and the ExecMojo of the plugin. ( http://svn.codehaus.org/mojo/tags/exec-maven-plugin-1.2.1/src/main/java/org/codehaus/mojo/exec/ )
To fix this issue, you need two sections to trigger the exec-maven-plugin with different goals.
`<plugin>
<groupId>org.codehaus.mojo</groupId>
<artifactId>exec-maven-plugin</artifactId>
<version>1.2</version>
<executions> <!-- trigger plugin with goal exec -->
<execution>
<id>sencha-compile</id>
<phase>compile</phase>
<goals>
<goal>exec</goal>
</goals>
<configuration>
<executable>sencha</executable>
<workingDirectory>src/main/extApps/usx</workingDirectory>
<arguments>
<argument>app</argument>
<argument>build</argument>
</arguments>
</configuration>
</execution>
<execution> <!-- trigger plugin with goal java .... id,phase and goals should be optional cause you use default settings as in your first pom.xml -->
<id>stackoverflow</id>
<phase>validate</phase>
<goals>
<goal>java</goal>
</goals>
<configuration>
<mainClass>com.atlantis.amc.AmcWebApp</mainClass>
</configuration>
</execution>
</executions>
</plugin>
