Hi,
This is taken from one of my poms :
<plugin>
<groupId>org.codehaus.mojo</groupId>
<artifactId>exec-maven-plugin</artifactId>
<executions>
<execution>
<id>Stop Container</id>
<phase>package</phase>
<configuration>
<executable>stopService.bat</executable>
<workingDirectory>${edev.utils}</workingDirectory>
<arguments>
<argument>${container.service.name}</argument>
</arguments>
</configuration>
<goals>
<goal>exec</goal>
</goals>
</execution>
<execution>
<id>Start Container</id>
<phase>install</phase>
<configuration>
<executable>startService.bat</executable>
<workingDirectory>${edev.utils}</workingDirectory>
<arguments>
<argument>${container.service.name}</argument>
<argument>${container.deploy.pause}</argument>
</arguments>
</configuration>
<goals>
<goal>exec</goal>
</goals>
</execution>
</executions>
</plugin>
This snipet ties the executions to a build phase. However I am yet to find
a way of executing when not tied to a phase.
If anyone can help here......
Cheers
Jon
