maven-jar-plugin

I'm using Maven to build a Java project, and I've got a couple files, CHANGELOG and LICENSE , that I'd like to copy to the META-INF directory inside the JAR file. So far what I've got working is the following: <build> <resources> <resource> <directory>${project.basedir}</directory> <includes> <include>CHANGELOG</include> <include>LICENSE</include> </includes> <targetPath>META-INF</targetPath> </resource> </resources> <plugins> ... but that also copies those two files to the classes/META-INF directory when compiling. So I'd like the files to be included in the JAR file, but nowhere else. Is

I used maven and maven-jar-plugin and maven-assembly-plugin to build a zip of my project including the projects jar and its dependencies. This is the plugin configuration: <plugin> <groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId> <artifactId>maven-jar-plugin</artifactId> <version>2.5</version> <configuration> <archive> <manifest> <mainClass>MyMainClass</mainClass> <addClasspath>true</addClasspath> <classpathPrefix>lib/</classpathPrefix> </manifest> </archive> </configuration> </plugin> <plugin> <groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId> <artifactId>maven-assembly-plugin</artifactId> <version>2.4<

I do not understand maven. Better use ant, but... I've managed to create jar (with, or without dependencies), I've managed to copy bat runner script close to jar but now i want to create zip with this jar and this bat. So i use assembly plugin and get BUUUM!!!! CADAAAM! In my configuration it happens so, that it executes parallel to jar packaging. I wrote assembly file: <assembly xmlns="http://maven.apache.org/plugins/maven-assembly-plugin/assembly/1.1.0" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xsi:schemaLocation="http://maven.apache.org/plugins/maven-assembly-plugin/assembly/1.1

I created a pom.xml to compile my project and package it as a jar, and indeed it comiples and the jar is created - problem is that i got a jar with both classes and java inside, and i only want the classes inside. How do I lose the java files? I don’t need them. this is the pom.xml that i created: <build> <resources> <resource> <directory>src/main/java</directory> <filtering>true</filtering> </resource> </resources> <finalName>api-interfaces</finalName> <plugins> <plugin> <groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId> <artifactId>maven-jar-plugin</artifactId> <version>2.4</version> <executions>

With the maven jar plugin I build two jar: bar-1.0.0.jar and bar-1.0.0-client.jar. Actually in my POM I have the following dependency: <dependency> <groupId>de.app.test</groupId> <artifactId>foo</artifactId> <version>1.0.0</version> </dependency> This artifact exist also in two version bar-1.0.0.jar and bar-1.0.0-client.jar I want to make bar-1.0.0-client.jar dependent of foo-1.0.0-client.jar and bar-1.0.0.jar dependent of foo-1.0.0.jar . ================ ->First (wrong) solution: define the scope as provided and use the right foo package when using bar.jar ->Second (long) solution : Add

I have an enterprise application which I am in the process of converting from an Ant build to Maven. It's almost completely converted; this is the very last thing I need to fix. The application is packaged as an EAR file which contains two WARs and has a JAR module which provides all of the core functionality of the application. I'm using the Freemarker templating library to generate, among other things, message bodies for automatic emails sent by the application. Freemarker needs its *.ftl template files to be on the classpath, and since this is core application functionality not specific to
