maven-plugin

(Note: this question was originally posed by Dan Allen on Google+ here: https://plus.google.com/114112334290393746697/posts/G6BLNgjyqeQ ) If I ran 'mvn install', what artifacts would it install? Or, if I ran 'mvn deploy', what artifacts would it deploy? This would likely be a fairly straightforward plugin to write, but I don't want to re-invent this if it's already available somewhere programmatically. It seems like this should be readily available somewhere. Jörn Horstmann As Andrew Logvinov already commented, any maven plugin could attach additional artifacts. So I don't think this would be

I'm trying to create my own maven archetype. For now, I'm going through this tutorial [here][1] without success. I'm able to build the archetype project okay, but when I try to generate a project from that archetype I get the error below. Maven can't seem to find the archetype I created . Can any one spot my problem? Is there some other recomended tutorial for createing a maven archetype? Thanks. Maven version 3.0.3 Build Error: AR3Y35-LAPTOP:EclipseWS Albert$ mvn archetype:generate -DgroupId=com.mycompany.app -DartifactId=my-app -DarchetypeGroupId=com.myarch.archetypes -DarchetypeArtifactId

I'm writing a maven 3 plugin, for which I would like to use project classpath. I've tried using the approach mentionned in Add maven-build-classpath to plugin execution classpath , but it seems the written component is not found by maven. (I have a ComponentNotFoundException at plugin execution start). So, what is the "reference" way to use project classpath in a maven 3 plugin ? Or if the component way is the right one, is there any configuration step beside adding the component as configurator property of the @Mojo annotation ? You can retrieve the classpath elements on the MavenProject by

I have a Maven plugin that I am attempting to test using a subclass of the AbstractMojoTestCase . The plugin Mojo defines an outputFolder parameter with a defaultValue . This parameter is not generally expected to be provided by the user in the POM. @Parameter(defaultValue = "${project.build.directory}/someOutputFolder") private File outputFolder; And if I use the plugin in a real scenario then the outputFolder gets defaulted as expected. But if I test the Mojo using the AbstractMojoTestCase then while parameters defined in the test POM are populated, parameters with a defaultValue that are

I am working on Automated Build using maven and Jenkins. I am looking for best open source Repository Management for Maven. So that I can have an integaration between Maven and jenkins via respository manager. You have at least three choices that I know of Nexus Artifactory Apache Archiva I have used all the three and each has pros and cons. I would go with Nexus since it is backed by Sonatype who are also involved in maven development. I liked the Artifactory User Interface though Both Nexus and Artifactory have supported professional editions as well. These are linked from the maven site as

I'm using the lesscss-maven-plugin to generate different css files to the target directory ( target\generated-sources ) and then use maven-war-plugin to add this directory as an webResouce. Those files will generate perfectly fine. However the m2e-plugin (version 1.0.0) won't copy those files in the according web-resources folder ( m2e-wtp\web-resources ), when they have changed . Only when I run a eclipse "maven/update project" changes will be updated. But I want the changes to take affect automatically, when the files have changed. Here is my pom configuration: <plugin> <groupId>org.eclipse

I'm using the Cargo Maven plugin to deploy a WAR to a remote server, and I'm having problems. I'll probably create a second question for that problem, but this one is about overriding a Maven plugin's log4j configuration. Cargo uses JBoss' client libraries to ship stuff to JBoss servers (which I'm trying to do.) The JBoss library uses log4j. Cargo doesn't set up any sort of mapping layer that I know of. So, essentially, log messages are occurring in the dependent library of a Maven plugin. I tried setting -Dlog4j.debug and got this information: log4j: Trying to find [log4j.xml] using
