The surefire plugin allows to continue after test failures by enabling
the testFailureIgnore parameter:

mvn -Dmaven.test.failure.ignore verify

See
https://maven.apache.org/surefire/maven-surefire-plugin/test-mojo.html#testFailureIgnore

Hm, so signing the artifacts already works and you just want to
install/deploy the signatures along with the JARs?

Than I'd say build-helper-maven-plugin is what you need:

Hi! Stephan!

Some years ago I had a similar problem while developing
vdldoc-maven-plugin [1]. I found all the necessary information, but it
was a rather hard search.

Have a look at this plugin's source-code at github [2]. It is a very
simple plugin which has unit tests, integration-tests, uses checkstyle, pmd
and findbugs (which should now be replaced by spotbugs). I'd say it could
be good starting point for you.

Surefire excludedGroups problem in multi-module build

[Martin Höller]

Hi!

I'm using maven-surefire-plugin 3.0.0-M6 in a multi-module build, with
JUnit 4.13.2. I use JUnit's categories to mark some unit tests as slow
like this:

  @Test
  @Category(SlowTest.class)
  public void someTests() {...}

To avoid running slow tests I run mvn like this:

  mvn test -DexcludedGroups=SlowTest

This works basically. But if I have one module without any tests at all,
surefire fails with the following error:

[ERROR] Failed to execute goal 
org.apache.maven.plugins:maven-surefire-plugin:3.0.0-M6:test (default-test) on 
project my-api-module: groups/excludedGroups require TestNG, JUnit48+ or JUnit 
5 (a specific engine required on classpath) on project test classpath -> [Help 
1]

The error is correct. I do not have any of the mentioned
engines/dependencies on classpath, because I don't need them.

Of course, I could add a dependency to junit, which solves this problem,
but then I have a declared unused dependency, which is ugly.

I also could skip surefire execution by configuring the plugin:

  

  
org.apache.maven.plugins
maven-surefire-plugin

  true

  

  

This is (IMHO) less ugly as the workaround from above, but this adds a
few lines of configuration which must be remembered to be removed, once
unit-tests are written.

However, I'm still hoping for some clean solution. Any ideas?

Thanks in advance,

There is one thing that is IMHO not clearly (enough) stated in your post:
it is in general a bad idea to add repositories to your POMs [1].

Section 2. Get the external jars into a public Maven repository adds an
additional repository to the pom.xml. This is usually bad pratice and
should be avoided. Brian Fox wrote a detailed blog post [1] about this. 

Maybe you could link to this post and mentione, that putting the
additional repo in your settings.xml is an alternative.

Use mvn -DskipTests.

Re: where to put common dependecies in multi-module project

[Martin Höller]

Hi!

Define the versions of your dependencies in the parent's 
dependencyManagement section. Define the actual dependency in every 
submodule where you use it. Without the version!

The analyze goal of the maven-dependency-plugin can help you to find out if 
you should declare a dependency or not.

On Monday 24 October 2011 codingplayer wrote:
 Hi,

 i'm wondering where to put my common dependenies in my multimodule
 project.

 Let's say, we have a project called sandbox, with three submodules.
 - sandbox-core
 - sandbox-service
 - sandbox-web

 Existing dependencies:
 - sandbox-service has a dependency to sandbox-core
 - sandbox-web has a dependency to sandbox-service

 So practically, all dependencies of sandbox-core, will be transitive
 dependencies for the other modules.


 Let's say i want to use slf4j as logging framework, which should probable
 be used in all modules and all of them should also use the same version.

 I see different approaches on this:
 - i could add the dependencies to the parent pom (sandbox)
 - i could also only define a property for the version, e.g.
 ${slf4j.dependency.version} in the parent pom (sandbox) and actually add
 the dependency on core level (sandbox-core)
 - i could also simply add the dependency (plus version) to the core level
 (sandbox-core)

 I already had some problems, when not building the whole project (on
 sandbox) level, that not all dependencies have been resolved in my leave
 module (sandbox-web).

 So i assume when putting the dependencies in the sandbox-core, one will
 always have to build the whole project in order to have a working
 sandbox-web module, while when putting them into the parent directly, the
 dependencies would be retrieved by maven correctly anyway, since the
 parent-poms are always taken intoconsideration, even when only the
 sandbox-web is built.


 So, what would be the best-practice on that?
 What exact differences would be there between direct dependencies and
 transitive dependencies?
 Where should i put those common dependencies?

 Hi!

 What is the expected behaviour if a configured repository mirror is not

 server, which is absolutely not what I want!

 Here are some details and background information: We have a repository
 manager (nexus) set up to serve all artifacts. Every user has it
 configured in .m2/settings.xml like this (hostname changed):

   mirrors
 mirror
   idnexus-repo/id
   nameInternal Maven Repository/name
  
 urlhttp://nexus.mycompany.net:8080/nexus/content/groups/public//url
 mirrorOf*/mirrorOf
 /mirror
   /mirrors

 Recently we had a problem on this server, so that nexus was not
 reachable. If one tried to build a project during this time, maven
 silently downloaded artifacts from the internet. We only noticed this,
 because one remote repository returned a 404 HTML page, which led to an
 invalid pom.xml. No other errors and no warnings.

 This is IMHO really bad behaviour, because you can get JARs into your
 local repository from an untrusted source without notifying it!

 The only related information I could find was MNG-714. But this doesn't
 say anything about maven's behaviour.

 Did anybody else notice this behaviour? Is it expected? How could I
 configure Maven to report an error instead of going out to the internet?

 The problem occured with maven 2.2.1. I didn't test it with maven 3.

 Any thoughts?

server, which is absolutely not what I want!

Here are some details and background information: We have a repository manager 
(nexus) set up to serve all artifacts. Every user has it configured in 
.m2/settings.xml like this (hostname changed):

  mirrors
mirror
  idnexus-repo/id
  nameInternal Maven Repository/name
  urlhttp://nexus.mycompany.net:8080/nexus/content/groups/public//url
  mirrorOf*/mirrorOf
/mirror
  /mirrors

Recently we had a problem on this server, so that nexus was not reachable. If 
one tried to build a project during this time, maven silently downloaded 
artifacts from the internet. We only noticed this, because one remote 
repository returned a 404 HTML page, which led to an invalid pom.xml. No other 
errors and no warnings.

This is IMHO really bad behaviour, because you can get JARs into your local 
repository from an untrusted source without notifying it!

The only related information I could find was MNG-714. But this doesn't say 
anything about maven's behaviour.

Did anybody else notice this behaviour? Is it expected? How could I configure 
Maven to report an error instead of going out to the internet?

The problem occured with maven 2.2.1. I didn't test it with maven 3.

Any thoughts?

Re: Generating web project with java, webapp, and resource folder from archtype goal

 Hi,
 
 Is there a way in maven to generate a web project with java, resources, and

 project module with:
 
 multi-project

  |-- my-app

Maven suggests this, because this is known to be a best practice. You usually

Re: how to patch releases

  Hi all,
 
 this might be a simple one and if there is documentation about it I'm happy
 to read that.
 
 Its a basic understanding question:
 
 I have a maven project and do a release - lets say 1.1
 
 The maven release plugin manipulates the poms and tags the software in the
 scm.
 
 the trunk itself has e.g. 1.2-SNAPSHOT - everything is fine and the release
 is done
 
 
 How is the procedure if one needs to patch 1.1 to 1.1.1 ?
 
 I guess one has to create a branch from the tagged version. Then the
 version in the poms have to be set to 1.1.1-SNAPSHOT and then development
 starts.
 
 Is this process only doable by hand or is there also maven tools for that ?

versions-maven-plugin might be useful for setting the versions with a single 
command.

 Of course, it is fairly specific to what we need.
 1) Database connection specification is clearly a place where JNDI is a
 great solution.
 2) Site name/customer name - can be used in code to specify namespaces
 or build file specifications,
 3) Webservice endpoint specifications so that clients use the right
 webservices for test and production by customer.
 4) URLs for resources or error screens
 
 We have removed anything that relates to operations/deployment from the
 code and into the Tomcat configurations (server.xml) on the server
 instance.
 
 Is this what you are looking for?

Thanks for your replies Ron and Brett. It explains what I was askig for and

 Simply run mvn clean.

I don't know what is actually the prefered way of accessing the path to the 
local repository (but I'm quite sure I saw discussions about it on this

changed ${maven.local.repo} to ${settings.localRepository}. This is working

You can change the name of the JAR in the local or remote repository with 
the assembly plugin? I doubt this!

You can change the name of the JAR in your targt folder, but that's 
something completely different and you did this already with the 
finalName option.

Changing the internal data storage of maven (the repository) is a bad idea

Kind of a mix. It uses a single app to show you how to accomplish things and 
it uses best practices to do so. Quite often it does not dive too deep into

How and where are you trying to access the properties? In some JUnit test 
which is executed by the maven surefire plugin via 
System.getProperty(db.url)? That definitely works for me.

However, Stephen's comments about locking you to maven this way sounds 
reasonable. His approach is probably the better one. But I don't know yet how 
these properties could be used in pom.xml for plugin configuration. Do they

 I tried adding the following to my pom.xml

   database.username${database.username}/database.username
   database.password${database.password}/database.password

 And tried reading with System.getProperty(database.username), but it gave
 me null.

 The reason for the ${database.url} and so on, is that it gets its values
 from either a default settings.xml or a user specific settings.xml, and
 that is how I need it to be.

It's as Anders wrote already. If you want to use the same property names in 
settings.xml and pom.xml you have to put them in a profile, that's how I do 
it and it works. The profile could be activeByDefault if you prefer.

So your settings.xml could look like this:

settings
  profiles
profile
  idsomeProf/id
  activation
activeByDefault/
  /activation
  properties
database.urlsomeUrl/database.url
  /properties
/profile
  /profiles
/settings
 
And your pom.xml would be this:

project
  ...
  properties
database.urlsomeDummyValue/database.url
  /properties
/project

Now reading the properties via System.getProperty(database.url) shoud work.

Re: best practice to include resources in the jar file and unpack them on target server

What you are doing here is telling the maven-jar-plugin, that classes are 
found in src/main/resources, which is nonsense!

What you should do, is put your resources in src/main/resources and they 
should end up in target/classes and the produced JAR automatically when 
running mvn package or the like.

It seems you are not familiar with maven and I strongly recommend reading a 
maven book, like sonatype's Maven: The Definitve Guide, which is available

Extract the resource files from the JAR-File using 'jar' or 'zip' utilities, 
and copy them to the location where you want them to be.

This is not related to maven any more. There was actually a thread about 
something similar two days ago... and while searching for it, I found that

I'm using Maven 2.2.1 with Java 1.5.0_22 and ${user.home} is working fine for

I have the following in my settings.xml:

 I've managed to find out the cause of the issue: during the prepare, the

 therefore, when release:perform checks out the working copy of the given
 tag, it has branches, tags and trunk sub-directories all checked out, and
 pom.xml is contained under trunk.

 So the question has become how can I set prepare tag the trunk directory
 rather than the project root directory correctly? Apologies for this newbie
 question, any help is highly appreciated!

Have a look at the scm section in your POM. developerConnection or 
eventually connection are the tags that define the root of your project in 
SCM. Google should bring more information if you need them.

 I thought that error only occurred when the URL to the repo was incorrect.
 Since I am able to do a release:prepare and see the project tagged in SVN,
 I imagine that isn't the case.

 It occurred to me that this could be a flatness issue. My release in SVN
 looks like this:

 myapp-0.8.1
 --parent
 --persistence
 --services

 Each of these represents a module with its own pom. Shockingly, parent is
 the parent module for the others. There is no pom at the myapp-0.8.1 level,
 so that would explain the error.

 Because of the flatness issue, I had to add configure the release plugin in
 the following fashion for it to work:

 configuration

 tagWorkingDirectory${basedir}/../tagWorkingDirectory
 updateWorkingCopyVersionsfalse/updateWorkingCopyVersions
 preparationGoalsclean install/preparationGoals goalsclean
 install/goals
 arguments-Dmaven.test.skip/arguments
 tagBasesvn://url/data/svn/project/tags/tagBase

 Given this setup, how can I do the release? Any insight is appreciated.

 Subject: Problem in creating own archetype

 Hi all,

 I am trying to convince my group here to start using Maven instead of
 Ant. I am preparing a demonstration for them and in the process, I am
 trying to create my own archetype. I've done it before but this time I
 am stuck at something which I've no idea how to solve.

 I want the project directory structure to be

 - bin
   -- file1
   -- file2.sh
   -- file3.sh
 - src
   -- main
 -- java
 -- file.java
 + site
 + test

 So I've all that setup in archetype-resources folder and here is my
 archetype.xml within META-INF directory

 archetype
   !-- this id tag should be same as the artifactId in the archetype
 pom.xml--
   idarchetype_id/id
   sources
  sourcesrc/main/java/App.java/source
   /sources
   testSources
 sourcesrc/test/java/AppTest.java/source
   /testSources
   resources
   resourcebin/file1/resource
   resourcebin/file2.sh/resource
   resourcebin/file3.sh/resource
   /resources
 /archetype

 The amount of problems I am encountering with something simple as this,
 I've a feeling that this resources folder is supposed to do something
 other then what I am trying to do.

 Q1- How do I include the bin folder where I want it?

 Main problem I am encountering is I haven't been able to figure out how
 to include the entire directory and its files without specifying each
 file the way I've shown above and ** doesn't work and neither does
 specifying a directory and include tag

 ANOTHER weird problem is that when Maven encounters that file2.sh, it
 for some reason tries to open it and parse it because I get an exception
 like this Parser Eception:
 archetype-resources/bin/file2.sh:org.apache.velocity.runtime.parser.Pars
 eException: Encountered .

 Q2- Why is Maven trying to parse my shell script?

 I would appreciate any help you can provide, if I am unable to prove to
 my group how useful Maven is (this is the only snag left), I am afraid
 we'll keep using ANT

 But it also can be called from pom.xml, as part of a lifecycle.

 If it's called from the shell, I would like the user to input some

Have a look at the release-plugin [0]. If the --batch-mode parameter of maven

 same artifact with a set version (ie not using dependencyManagement) in
 more than one project?

Sounds like a job for the versions-maven-plugin [0]. I think the plugin 
already warns you if dependencyManagement is not used. Not sure about 
different versions. If it doesn't support you use case file an enhancement 
request in JIRA. Maybe Stephen Connolly can provide some more details.

I never used it, but I guess you have to use the build helper maven plugin

release:perform of an EAR gives error with maven-source-plugin:2.1

[Martin Höller]

Hi all!

We recently upgrade the maven-source-plugin from version 2.0.4 to 2.1 for a 
multimodule project (consisting of modules of packaging type jar, war, ejb 
and ear). No problems so far when doing a normal build like mvn install.

However, when we do a mvn release:perform the EAR module fails with this 
error: 

...
[INFO] [source:jar]
[INFO] 
[ERROR] BUILD ERROR
[INFO] 
[INFO] Error creating source archive: You must set at least one file.

This is because the EAR module doesn't contain any sources. We wouldn't need 
the -sources.jar anyway. Older versions of the maven-source-plugin created 
an empty archive with an auto-generated MANIFEST.MF file in it, but the 2.1 
version fails as already reported in MSOURCES-44 [0].

The question I now have is, why is source:jar mojo executed at all? According
to the lifecycle reference [1] this mojo shouldn't be executed (for packaging
EAR). How can I deactivate this mojo?

thanks in advance,
- martin

 I have some questions here:
 
 1. How to tell the maven-ear-plugin to use my application.xml? And where in 
 the ear directory should I place my own application.xml?

The m-ear-p is able to autogenerate an application.xml for you. Maybe you
should try to use this feature. See [1] for details.

If auto-generation doesn't fit your needs, I'd put my application.xml in
src/main/resources/META-INF/application.xml of my ear module. IMHO, this
should work.

 2. Because of the dependency on the ejb, I have to run mvn install in the ejb 
 directory before I can run mvn compiler:compile in the war directory.

Your dependencies are incorrect! You missed they typeejb/type in your
war dependency declaration.

 3. In my application.xml, beside the ejb and war modules, I need to add one 
 more module like this:
 
 moduleejbjboss-seam-2.1.1.GA.jar/ejb/module
 
 The jboss seam jar file can be found with a dependency. What should I do to 
 tell maven to include that file into the root of the ear file it creates when 
 I run mvn ear:ear in the ear directory?

Not 100% sure what you want to achieve. Did you try specifying the seam
artifact as a normal dependency (with scope runtime) of your EAR?

  Since the POM is an XML document, all text in it must be proper XML. 
  In your case, the '' character starts an XML entity.  An entity name
  is terminated with a ';' character.  When the parser reads in your POM,
  it sees the first '' in your URL and then starts reading until it
  reaches a ';' so that it can read the entity name.  While trying to
  find a ';', the parser encountered a '=', which is not a valid
  character in an entity name.
 
  To get around this, you need to replace the '' with the correct XML
  entity, 'amp;'.  This would change your repository URL to:
 
  http://local.mysite/pub/get?Type=19010-TEST9040044/1amp;Lang=Xamp;Rev

 To be completely fair, I just realized, reading this, that there is a
 little twist.  In my case, the two modules that are missing are modules
 of a module.  I don't think it should make any difference, but maybe
 there is a defect that begins at the 3rd level.  Again, here's a bit of
 a skeleton view:

 Project
 ModuleA(pom)
 ModuleA1(pom)
 ModuleA2(pom)
 ModuleB(jar, depends on ModuleA1,ModuleA2)

 When it gets to ModuleB, the failure is in finding either of those two
 dependencies.

How did you define the dependencies in ModuleB? Did you specify the correct 
type (pom) for the dependencies?

 Hi all,

 I'd like to get opinions from others on how they structure/deal with what
 we deem 'functional tests'

 To us these are tests that are broader in scope than a unit test but
 whose scope is still limited to that same module and require no 3rd party
 resources to run (we're able to Mock everything we need). Traditionally a
 Maven structure looks something like:

 foobar
 jar
 src
 main
 java
 test
 java
 war
 ...
 sar
 ...
 rar
 ...
 ear

 With the 'test' structure being used for Unit Tests.

 So we're wondering if it was wise to put the functional tests under
 jar--test--src--java (perhaps differentiating them by package
 structure) or introduce a new module (say functional-test) eg

 foobar
 jar
 src
 main
 java
 test
 java
 functional-test
 src
 test
 java
 war
 ...
 sar
 ...
 rar
 ...
 ear
 ...

 Is there a preferred technique/other options that people have used?

Re: Interdependencies between modules

[Martin Höller]

Hi Richard!

You have to be online to pull in updates of third-party artifacts, but you 
don't want updates of your own artefacts?

Well, I'd say there is only one solution to this: use snapshot versions for 
the artifacts you want updates for and define non-snapshot versions for all 
others.

Regarding reproducability: an artifact with a snapshot-dependency is never 
reproducable, that's the nature of snapshots.

On Tuesday 20 January 2009 Richard Chamberlain wrote:
 Apologies for not being clear.

 In my second mail i had thought of another situation where
 interdependencies between artefacts you have built cause an
 unpredictable build.

 Let me illustrate the problem clearer.

 Parent P
 Project A
 Project B
 Project C - depends on A

 mvn install

 My reactor build would do:

 - Build Project P
 - Build Project A - installed into local repo
 - Build project B - installed into local repo

 During the build of Project B, an updated Project A was put into the
 remote repository by, say an automated build

 - Build Project C (during build of project C it would have downloaded
 project A)

 Therefore project C would not build with my project A. I cannot use
 offline with this multi-module project as I want A, B and C to pull in
 any changes to third-party artefacts.

 I may have understood the way that maven works in this regards, please
 could you let me know if this is an issue.

 Regards,

 Richard

 What do you mean by someone deployed to the repository. It has to be
 you,
 particularly if you're working offline. As the local maven repository is
 local, this should not be possible. You're not sharing your local
 repository with others are you?

 Did you try with mvn -o? You're not very clear about it in your last
 mail.

 Cheers

  This is worse when incorporated into a multi-module build:
 
  When the reactor builds B it is not guaranteed to use locally built A.
  If someone deployed to the repository, then it would use that one.
 
  Is this an issue? Or have I missed something?

   Hi All,
  
  
  
   I've got a question about how maven works when there is a newer

 remote

   library than a locally installed artefact.
  
  
  
   Say I've got project A and project B. B depends on A.
  
  
  
   -  I build A and install it, to test that B will work with

 the

   API changes in A.
  
   -  If I build B it will use my locally built copy of A,
   everything is fine
  
  
  
   UNLESS: The continuous integration tool builds a new copy of A after

 I

   build A and install locally. When I come to build B it pulls in the
   remote copy of A and my local change in A is ignored.
  
  
  
   How can I stop this happening as it does not give a predicatable
 
  build?
 
   I really need to tell B to update its dependencies except for A.
  
  
  
   Thanks in advance,
  
  
  
   Rich

Re: How to reference home directory in linux?

 I want to set the local repository position with this expression
 ~/m2/repo, which is also used as an example in settings.xml. But it

 1) Is it a bug of maven?

No. ~ is (usually) interpreted by the shell you are using. If it's in a 
configuration file the shell never sees it thus cannot replace it with the 
user's home directory. For maven ~ is just a character, nothing more.

 2) How can I do if a reference to home directory is needed here?

As Haim said, try ${user.home}. I think this is a system property.

 What is the best approack for doing this? Which plugin should I use?
 Please share any links and pointers. Thanks.

See [0] for a comparison of the available plugins.

The maven-eclipse-plugin just creates eclipse configuration files for your 
projects, no further intergration. This is simple, quite robust but doesn't 
provide as much comfort as the other two options.

I didn't use m2eclipse or q4e recently but they follow a completely 
different approach. They are plugins for eclipse and try to adapt your IDE 
and add new features to it.

If you search the list archive you should find some more information. This 
question is asked every now and then.

  You say it: it runs all of the _configurations_, but it's still only
  _one_

  antrun plugin is kind of special as it runs ant task within maven,
  which
  doesn't have the concept of tasks.

 The exec plugin is like that too, and I find both to be very integral
 to the development process. Perhaps these plugins need a new feature
 that allows the user to specify which configuration is used.

Yes, maybe. However, adding such a feature is quite equivalent to using 
profiles to select a configuration. And this is how it all started ;-)
