How to place the output jar into another folder with maven?

Question

I\'d like to place my output jar and jar-with-dependencies into another folder (not in target/ but in ../libs/).

How can I do that?

Answer 1

If you want to copy the artifact into a directory outside your project, solutions might be:

• maven-jar-plugin and configure outputDirectory
• maven-antrun-plugin and copy task
• copy-maven-plugin by Evgeny Goldin

Example for the copy-maven-plugin is:

    com.github.goldin
    copy-maven-plugin
    0.2.5
    
        
            deploy-to-local-directory
            install
            
                copy
            
            
                false
                false
                
                    
                        Copy artifact to another directory
                        /your/local/path
                        ${project.build.directory}
                        
                            *.jar
