How to run powershell script in maven - maven

Question

I currently dealing with a problem using maven. I try to update a file when building the software using maven. For some reason, I have to use a powershell script and run it when building using mvn. Here is my code:
<exec executable="powershell.exe"
spawn="true">
<arg value="/c"/>
<arg value="myReplace.ps1"/>
<arg value="../../the/path/to/the/directory/" />
<arg value ="filename"/>
<arg value="value1" />
<arg value="value2" />
<arg value="value3" />
</exec>
It does not work as expected, can someone help me?

Answer 1

This message dates from a while but I went through the exercise in the last days. The key is to use the exec plugin as stated. Here is an example in a project's pom.xml:
The code below launches the code-signing on a PowerShell module script. Note that the command string must begin, for calling PowerShell functions from the command line, with & which is not properly digested by Maven. Escaping it does the trick. For more complex operations, call a PS script.
...
<plugin>
<groupId>org.codehaus.mojo</groupId>
<artifactId>exec-maven-plugin</artifactId>
<version>1.3.2</version>
<executions>
<execution>
<id>scripts-package</id>
<goals>
<goal>exec</goal>
</goals>
<phase>prepare-package</phase>
<configuration>
<!-- optional -->
<workingDirectory>/Temp</workingDirectory>
<arguments>
<argument>-command</argument>
<argument>"& { Set-AuthenticodeSignature '${project.build.directory}/Logging_Functions/*.psm1' #(Get-ChildItem ${project.build.certificate.path} -codesigning)[0]"}</argument>
</arguments>
</configuration>
</execution>

This avoids a bug with PowerShell hanging on StdIn.
