I have a maven project with this structure.
I want to use same jar in different EARs with different properties.
When I run "mvn install", it creates 2 EARs but it cannot do filtering with this config. How can I solve this issue?
With Maven, you cannot filter a file belonging to a JAR module which is already built.
Each module is built and packaged separately. So, if you JAR needs to have a property which the value is populated dynamically, I may propose you two solutions :
Put the properties file which contains the key-value for conf.path in each EARs and in the JAR side, you could use a helper class to lookup in the classpath the value associated to the conf.path key.
You can perform this processing when the value is required or as soon as the application has started up if you need it very soon.
Create two flavors of your JAR whose the property differs. In this case, the property information is not stored any longer in the EAR but directly in the JAR
Look at the classifier element :
The classifier allows to distinguish artifacts that were built from
the same POM but differ in their content. It is some optional and
arbitrary string that - if present - is appended to the artifact name
just after the version number. As a motivation for this element,
consider for example a project that offers an artifact targeting JRE
1.5 but at the same time also an artifact that still supports JRE 1.4. The first artifact could be equipped with the classifier jdk15 and the
second one with jdk14 such that clients can choose which one to use.
Another common use case for classifiers is the need to attach
secondary artifacts to the project's main artifact. If you browse the
Maven central repository, you will notice that the classifiers sources
and javadoc are used to deploy the project source code and API docs
along with the packaged class files.
To produce multiple jars, configure the maven-jar-plugin plugin in your build in this way :
<plugin>
<groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId>
<artifactId>maven-jar-plugin</artifactId>
<version>3.0.2</version>
<executions>
<execution>
<phase>package</phase>
<goals>
<goal>jar</goal>
</goals>
<configuration>
<classifier>jarVersion2</classifier>
<includes>
<include>**/jarVersion2.properties</include>
</includes>
</configuration>
</execution>
<execution>
<phase>package</phase>
<goals>
<goal>jar</goal>
</goals>
<configuration>
<classifier>jarVersion1</classifier>
<includes>
<include>**/jarVersion1.properties</include>
</includes>
</configuration>
</execution>
</executions>
</plugin>
After you can reference in your WAR the jarVersion artifact like that for the war 1:
<dependency>
<groupId>groupIdOfTheJar</groupId>
<artifactId>artifactIdOfTheJar</artifactId>
<version>versionOfTheJar</version>
<classifier>jarVersion1</classifier>
</dependency>
And like that for the war 2 :
<dependency>
<groupId>groupIdOfTheJar</groupId>
<artifactId>artifactIdOfTheJar</artifactId>
<version>versionOfTheJar</version>
<classifier>jarVersion2</classifier>
</dependency>
I try to build a web application based on multiple maven modules. One of the modules is called "web" and is solely responsible to package a war which should be deployed to a tomcat using the tomcat7-maven-plugin. I have following modules defined in my parent.pom:
common
persistence
persistence-embedded
service
rest
web
All of them are combined into one web-application-war, the web module has set packaging to war. The problem is, that my war file is deployed for each submodule (and the main-parent-module) over and over again when I run mvn tomcat7:redeploy, which leads to 7 deployments. Apparently, this is not how it should be. The tomcat7-maven-plugin configuration currently looks like this:
<plugin>
<groupId>org.apache.tomcat.maven</groupId>
<artifactId>tomcat7-maven-plugin</artifactId>
<version>2.2</version>
<configuration>
<ignorePackaging>true</ignorePackaging>
<url>http://localhost:8080/manager/text</url>
<server>tomcatServer</server>
<path>/webapp</path>
<warFile> /home/username/dev/maven-multimodule-example/web/target/maven-multimodule-example-1.0-SNAPSHOT.war</warFile>
<username>admin</username>
<password>password</password>
</configuration>
</plugin>
As you can see, I need to specify the warFile (which is not a solution but rather a hack, because I can't use ${project.basedir} which would lead to the submodule-dir) to make it work.
However, if I run the web application with mvn tomcat7:run, it looks quite good, because the other non-war-building modules are skipped by the plugin.
How can I configure the plugin the right way to deploy the war file only once?
Every configuration within the <build> section of a parent POM will be inherited and thus executed in all child modules. So if you want to deploy only once, add it to only one POM (e.g. the web POM).
Thanks to dunni's help I noticed my missunderstanding of how multimodule projects are built. Now I've placed the plugin configuration in the web module and added an execution, bound to the install phase so that I can rebuild the whole project and get it deployed to my tomcat. Obviously maven takes care of the right execution order of the modules.
<plugin>
<groupId>org.apache.tomcat.maven</groupId>
<artifactId>tomcat7-maven-plugin</artifactId>
<version>2.2</version>
<configuration>
<url>http://localhost:8080/manager/text</url>
<server>tomcatServer</server>
<path>/webapp</path>
<warFile>${project.basedir}/target/${project.parent.artifactId}-${project.parent.version}.war</warFile>

<password>password</password>
</configuration>
<executions>
<execution>

<phase>install</phase>
<goals>

</goals>
</execution>
</executions>
</plugin>
I have this multi module project setup which uses Webstart and I need to bundle the WAR with SNAPSHOT JARs. When the JARs are bundled into the WAR, they are appended with a timestamp instead of the actual name. This is causing issues during their download.
Expected - ABC-1.0-SNAPSHOT.jar
Actual - ABC-1.0-20141002.211448-2.jar
Env:
OS: Unix
Maven: 3.2.1
JDK: 1.7
I have already tried useUniqueVersions=false by defining a maven-war-plugin and setting this in the manifest configuration.
My webstart config:
<plugin>
<groupId>org.codehaus.mojo</groupId>
<artifactId>webstart-maven-plugin</artifactId>
<version>1.0-beta-6</version>
<executions>

Appreciate any inputs.
UPDATE
Adding details about the WAR plugin I added
<plugin>
<groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId>
<artifactId>maven-war-plugin</artifactId>
<version>2.4</version>
</plugin>
The behavior continues. I read that maven 3 uses a unique snapshot system. But I am trying to work my way around it.
Also tried the following without any luck
<plugin>
<groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId>
<artifactId>maven-war-plugin</artifactId>
<version>2.4</version>
<configuration>
<outputFileNameMapping>${artifact.artifactId}-${artifact.baseVersion}.${artifact.extension}</outputFileNameMapping>
</configuration>
</plugin>
The creators of the maven-webstart-plugin have accidentally inverted the meaning of the flag useUniqueVersions. When set to true it produces jars of the form -SNAPSHOT.jar and when set to false (the default) it produces jars of the form --.jar
I found that setting the useUniqueVersions flag to true in the maven pom configuration produced my desired results.
I needed it like this because when deployed with the datestamp version of the snapshots when trying to launch it I was getting a "Resource not found" error when it tried to get the snapshot jar it was trying to launch. Presumably this means that the servlet code itself is not set up to handle the different naming on disk, despite the fact that the specific datestamp version number does end up in the jnlp itself.
whats the preferred way to upload an artifact via scp to a predefined destination?
i tried using the wagon:upload mojo, but it wont execute atomatically when i defined a "executions" section in my pom like that:
<plugin>
<groupId>org.codehaus.mojo</groupId>
<artifactId>wagon-maven-plugin</artifactId>
<version>1.0-beta-3</version>
<executions>
<execution>
<phase>release</phase>
<goals>
<goal>upload</goal>
</goals>
</execution>
</executions>
<configuration>
<fromDir>target/checkout/target</fromDir>
<includes>*.jar</includes>
<url>scpexe://host/dir</url>
<toDir />
<serverId>my id</serverId>
</configuration>
</plugin>
i added the necessary extension wagon-ssh and wagon-ssh-external and it all works fine when i execute wagon:upload but it wont upload the artifact automatically in the release phase.
Is this even the right way to upload artifacts to a website, or should the deploy plugin take care of that?
thanks!
That's because no release phase exists (see Maven Lifecycle Reference)
You probably want phase deploy. And yes, wagon is usually used by the maven deploy plugin (automatically when you execute mvn deploy).
We are using the maven release plugin on hudson and trying to automate the release process.
The release:prepare works fine. When we try to do the release:perform , it fails because it tries to upload a source artifact twice to the repository.
Things that I tried,
removing the profile which does include the maven source plugin from the super pom ( did not work)
specifying the goals on hudson for release as -P!attach-source release:prepare release:perform. Which I thought will exclude the source plugin from getting executed. (did not work).
tried specifying the plugin phase to some non existent phase in the super pom.(Did not work)
tried specifying the plugin configuration, forReleaseProfile as false. ( guess what?? Did not work too)
It still spits out this error.

Any help regarding this will be really appreciated.
Try running mvn -Prelease-profile help:effective-pom.
You will find that you have two execution sections for maven-source-plugin
The output will look something like this:
<plugin>
<artifactId>maven-source-plugin</artifactId>
<version>2.0.4</version>
<executions>
<execution>
<id>attach-sources</id>
<goals>
<goal>jar</goal>
</goals>
</execution>
<execution>
<goals>
<goal>jar</goal>
</goals>
</execution>
</executions>
</plugin>
To fix this problem, find everywhere you have used maven-source-plugin and make sure that you use the "id" attach-sources so that it is the same as the release profile. Then these sections will be merged.
Best practice says that to get consistency you need to configure this in the root POM of your project in build > pluginManagement and NOT in your child poms. In the child pom you just specify in build > plugins that you want to use maven-source-plugin but you provide no executions.
In the root pom.xml:
<build>
<pluginManagement>
<plugins>
<plugin>
<groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId>
<artifactId>maven-source-plugin</artifactId>
<executions>
<execution>
<!-- This id must match the -Prelease-profile id value or else sources will be "uploaded" twice, which causes Nexus to fail -->
<id>attach-sources</id>
<goals>
<goal>jar</goal>
</goals>
</execution>
</executions>
</plugin>
</plugins>
</pluginManagement>
</build>
In the child pom.xml:
<build>
<plugins>
<plugin>
<groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId>
<artifactId>maven-source-plugin</artifactId>
</plugin>
</plugins>
</build>
I know this question is old but it was google hit #1 today so I'll add my answer appropriate for recent versions of maven 3.
The symptom is that sources and javadoc jars are deployed twice when doing a release build with some versions of maven 3. If you're using maven to deploy your artifacts to a Sonatype Nexus repository that only allows a release artifact to be uploaded once (which is totally reasonable behavior), the build fails when the second upload attempt is rejected. Argh!
Maven versions 3.2.3 thru 3.3.9 have bugs - see https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MNG-5868 and https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MNG-5939. Those versions generate and deploy sources and javadoc jars twice when doing a release.
If I read the Maven issue tracker correctly, those bugs are not scheduled for fix as of this writing (the burned 3.4.0 release probably affected these).
Instead of a complex tweak to my pom, my simple workaround was to fall back to Maven version 3.2.1.
Just having hit the same problem, I analyzed it a bit. mvn release:perform evaluates the release.properties file, then checks out the tag in a temporary directory and invokes there something like
/usr/bin/mvn -D maven.repo.local=... -s /tmp/release-settings5747060794.xml
-D performRelease=true -P set-envs,maven,set-envs deploy
I tried to reproduce this – manually checked out the tag produced by release:prepare and invoked this:
mvn -D performRelease=true -P set-envs,maven,set-envs deploy
I got the same result: It was trying to upload the -sources.jar twice.
As noted by qualidafial in a comment, setting performRelease=false instead omits one of the two attachments of the same file.
I don't really have an idea how the deploy plugin (or any other plugin) uses this property.
We can provide this parameter as a configuration to the maven-relase-plugin:
<build>
<plugins>
<plugin>
<groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId>
<artifactId>maven-release-plugin</artifactId>
<version>2.3.2</version>
<configuration>
<useReleaseProfile>false</useReleaseProfile>
</configuration>
</plugin>
</plugins>
</build>
I now added the <useReleaseProfile>false</useReleaseProfile> line to all the POMs, and it looks like releasing now works without an error message.
I have been struggeling with this issue for a while and have finally been able to resolve it in our infrastructure. The answers here didn't help me, as we didn't have multiple executions of the source plugin goals and the configuration seemed fine to us.
What we did miss out was to bind the execution of the source plugin to a phase. Extending the example by Bae, including the line <phase>install</phase> to the execution resolved the issue for us:
<plugin>
<artifactId>maven-source-plugin</artifactId>
<version>2.0.4</version>
<executions>
<execution>
<id>attach-sources</id>
<phase>install</phase>
<goals>
<goal>jar</goal>
</goals>
</execution>
</executions>
</plugin>
I suspect the solution lies in this answer here; different plugins seem to be invoking the jar goal / the attach-sources execution. By binding our execution to a certain phase, we force our plugin only to be run in this phase.
This was happening to me when running
mvn install deploy
I avoided the problem by instead running
mvn deploy
(which implies install). In my case only one artifact was being attempted to be uploaded twice, and that was a secondary artifact (maven-jar-plugin was setup to build a secondary jar in addition to the one built by the default-jar execution).
TL;DR
Disable execution with id attach-sources fixes this problem, if you cannot modify your parent poms.

https://stackoverflow.com/a/10794985/3395456
My problem is the same, when running mvn -Prelease-profile help:effective-pom, I have two execution sections for maven-source-plugin
<plugin>
<artifactId>maven-source-plugin</artifactId>
<version>2.0.4</version>
<executions>
<execution>
<id>attach-sources</id>
<goals>
<goal>jar</goal>
</goals>
</execution>
<execution>
<goals>
<goal>jar</goal>
</goals>
</execution>
</executions>
</plugin>
The top voted answer just recommends a best practice to remove unnamed (anonymous) execution to avoid duplicated binding. But what if I cannot remove it, because I cannot change the parent pom?
There is one way to disable one execution, not the anonymous one, but the one with id attach-source. And it also works for uploading xx-javadoc.jar twice.
So under my pom.xml, I can explictly override the plugins settings, by disabling the execution with id attach-source.
<!-- Fix uploading xx-source.jar and xx-javadoc.jar twice to Nexus -->
<!-- try to disable attach-sources, attach-javadocs execution (bind its phase to none) -->
<plugin>
<groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId>
<artifactId>maven-source-plugin</artifactId>
<executions>
<execution>
<id>attach-sources</id>
<phase>none</phase>

<plugin>
<groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId>

<phase>none</phase>
</execution>
</executions>
<inherited>true</inherited>
</plugin>
References:
Is it possible to override executions in maven pluginManagement?
I don't think the probem is in the release plugin, I think you've got the xxx-sources.jar attached two times - that's why the duplicate upload. Why is there a duplicate attachment is hard to tell without seeing the POM. Try running mvn -X and checking the log for who attaches xxx-source.jar another time.
In any case, a good workaround on Nexus would be having a staging repository where you can upload releases several times - and when everything's ready you just close/promote the staging repo. Check the Sonatype OSS setup for an example.
I had the same problem. Basically, the error message is issued when an artifacts is sent to Nexus twice. This may be twice to the same Nexus repository or even across different repositories within the same Nexus.
However, the reasons for such a misconfiguration may vary. In my case, the artifacts were uploaded correctly during a mvn clean deploy build step in Jenkins, but then failed when a second deploy had been attempted. This second deploy had been configured in a Jenkins post build step "Publish artifacts in Maven repository".
Maven plugins in parent and child poms should not have execution. As per standard convention, define all plugin with execution/goals in parent pom in plugin management section. Child pom should not redefine above details, but mention only the plugin (with artifactId, and version) that needs to be executed.
I had similar issue with maven-assembly-plugin with parent pom as below:
<build>
<pluginManagement>
<plugins>
<plugin>
<artifactId>maven-assembly-plugin</artifactId>
<version>2.6</version>
<configuration>
<descriptors>
<descriptor>src/assembly/assembly.xml</descriptor>
</descriptors>
</configuration>
<executions>
<execution>
<phase>package</phase>
<goals>
<goal>single</goal>
</goals>
</execution>
</executions>
</plugin>
</plugins>
</pluginManagement>
</build>
And Child pom had maven-assembly-plugin as below:
<build>
<plugins>
<plugin>
<artifactId>maven-assembly-plugin</artifactId>
<version>2.2-beta-5</version>
<configuration>
<finalName>xyz</finalName>
<descriptors>
<descriptor>src/assembly/assembly.xml</descriptor>
</descriptors>
</configuration>
<executions>
<execution>
<id>xyz-distribution</id>
<phase>package</phase>
<goals>
<goal>single</goal>
</goals>
</execution>
</executions>
</plugin>
</plugins>
</build>
Removing the <executions> from child pom rectified the issue.
The effective pom had 2 executions performed causing the duplicate install to Nexus repo.
FWIW this issue was breaking our build for a while and the answer was none-of-the-above.
Instead I had foolishly set the seemingly innocuous appendAssemblyId to false in a maven-assembly-plugin for an artifact that gets attached (read deployed, released) with our main artifact. E.g.:
<execution>
<id>ci-groovy-distrib</id>
<phase>package</phase>
<goals>
<goal>single</goal>
</goals>
<configuration>
<descriptorRefs>
<descriptorRef>my-extra-assembly</descriptorRef>
</descriptorRefs>
<!-- This is the BUG: the assemblyID MUST be appended
because it is the classifier that distinguishes
this attached artifact from the main one!
-->
<appendAssemblyId>false</appendAssemblyId>
<!-- NOTE: Changes the name of the zip in the build target directory
but NOT the artifact that gets installed, deployed, releaseed -->
<finalName>my-extra-assembly-${project.version}</finalName>
</configuration>
</execution>
In summary:
the assembly plugin uses the assemblyId as the classifier for the artifact, hence an essential part of it's unique GAV coordinates in maven terms (actually it's more like GAVC coordinates - C is the classifier).
the name of the file installed, deployed, or released is actually built from these coordinates. It is not the same as the filename you see in your target directory. That's why your local build looks good, but your release will fail.
The stupid element only determines the local build artifact name and plays no part in the rest of it. It's a complete red-herring.
Summary of the summary:
The 400 error from Nexus was because our extra attached artifact was being uploaded over top of the main artifact, since it had the same name as the main artifact, because it had the same GAVC coordinates as the main artifact, because I removed the only distinguishing coordinate: the classifier derived automatically from the assemblyId.
The investigation to find this was a long and tortuous path the answer was right there all along in the docs for maven-assembly:
appendAssemblyId
boolean
Set to false to exclude the assembly id
from the assembly final name, and to create the resultant assembly
artifacts without classifier. As such, an assembly artifact having the
same format as the packaging of the current Maven project will replace
the file for this main project artifact.
Default value is: true.
User property is: assembly.appendAssemblyId.
From http://maven.apache.org/plugins/maven-assembly-plugin/single-mojo.html#attach
The extra bold is mine. The docs should have a big flashing warning here: "Set this to false and abandon all hope"
I got some help from this answer about a different problem maven-assembly-plugin: How to use appendAssemblyId
The explanation there from tunaki really helped.
I faced similar issue. Artifacts were getting deployed twice and the resultant build was failing.
Checked and found that the issue was in Jenkins Script. The settings.xml was called twice. Like:
sh "mvn -s settings.xml clean deploy -s settings.xml deploy -U .....
which caused the issue.
Updated this line and it worked like a charm:
sh "mvn clean deploy -s settings.xml -U .....
