Exclude Test Classes in dependend Maven JAR - java

We have an EAR Project which assembles a WAR File and has some JAR Files as dependency. POM.xml of the EAR looks like this:
<dependencies>
<dependency>
<groupId>our.package</groupId>
<artifactId>package-impl</artifactId>
<version>0.0.1-SNAPSHOT</version>
<type>jar</type>
<scope>runtime</scope>
</dependency>
</dependencies>
<build>
<plugins>
<plugin>
<groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId>
<artifactId>maven-ear-plugin</artifactId>
<version>${maven.ear.plugin.version}</version>
<configuration>
<version>5</version>
<generateApplicationXml>false</generateApplicationXml>
<defaultLibBundleDir>lib</defaultLibBundleDir>
<modules>
<webModule>
<groupId>de.project</groupId>
<artifactId>project.war</artifactId>
<bundleDir>/</bundleDir>
<bundleFileName>project.war</bundleFileName>
<contextRoot>project</contextRoot>
</webModule>
</modules>
</configuration>
</plugin>
</plugins>
</build>
The package-impl, which is included in the EAR as JAR, has some Test Classes in it. Unfortunatly these Test Classes are bundled whith the JAR, when the EAR is assembled. Besides the facet, that Maven should inlucde the test classe, how can I exclude these Test classes in the JAR, when the EAR is assembled?
All Test Classes in package-impl are in src/test/java Source Folder.
Regards
Sven
UPDATE:
When I build the package-impl indepent from tha EAR manually the test classes are not included (as expected).
UPDATE2
Here is the complete package-impl POM.xml

UPDATE3
This ended up to be an eclipse setting. The EAR-Project had a list of folders which contained the test folder.


The problem has to be in the module for the dependent JAR file. A perhaps someone has configured the build to include the test classes in the JAR. If so, you should fix the module (i.e. its POM file) to not do this, rather than trying to deal with it in your EAR module.


In the past I have accidentally put Test classes in src/main/java instead of src/test/java, and this works(compiles, runs) in eclipse but fails my build because JUnit is not in the class path for the build.
May or may not be true in your case but worth checking.

Get dependency from pom.xml to List

I must add all dependencies from pom.xml to List"Dependency"
How i can do it?
To find needed pom i have a "artifactId" and "groupId"
Write an absolute path for Filereader impossible, because project multi-modules
Examples pom.xml:
<groupId>ru.aa</groupId>
<artifactId>testProject</artifactId>
<packaging>pom</packaging>
<version>1.1.0-SNAPSHOT</version>
<dependencies>
<dependency>
<groupId>commons-io</groupId>

Code getting older references only locally

So, I am currently working on a project that uses Maven.
I added a spring-context dependency, on the latest version, and made sure to exclude any older spring references from other dependencies.
Seems like the code is getting an older reference still (even though it does not have a source attached anymore due to the old version of spring being excluded).
This issue is happening only on my local machine, as other people from the project downloaded the exact same code and didn't get this strage bean reference error.
Here's the pom.xml (I've erased internal project names)
I have tried running mvn clean install, checking dependencies with dependency:tree and nothing solves this problem.

If the problem only appears on your computer, delete the local repository (usually in your user directory under .m2/repository) and try again.

Somehow the code has been conflicting with other dependencies. After I have downloaded only those specific ones, it stopped conflicting.

intellij tomcat "copying resources" takes too much time

I'm building a basic web app using JSF and spring using IntelliJ IDEA. So I followed this post to config the IDEA with tomcat. But when I run the app, it takes too much time to build saying coping resources.(like 1/2 an hour) And when I make a change it takes much longer time. Strangest thing is, after the build, there are ~2GB files inside the target folder. And the same classes folders are recursively copied in to it. which means target\classes\classes\artifacts\java_test_war_exploded\WEB-INF\classes\target\classes\target\classes\target\m2e-wtp\web-resources\META-INF\maven\java_test\...etc. This goes to like infinity!
What is the problem here? Please someone help!

I still couldn’t find a solution for this. So I just deleted the .idea directory from the project and reimported the project to IntelliJ. Then it worked!

I have faced this problem. At first check your project folder's size. If it is too large and it is not normal (my target folder was more than ~ 2 GB) , we have a same problem!
My mistake which caused this problem was that in intellij idea, I had refactored so many packages and changed folder's directions so many at the beginning of my project. My IDE confused and made a lot of same folders in each folder and continued it many many times! Like taking selfie in front of a mirror! what will happen to your pic? it will repeat infinitely.
my solution: create my project again as same as the previous one. but by taking care and not refactoring!
Just this!

In-memory testing using Jersey Test Framework, TestNG and Maven

I am building a web project which uses Maven for building and uses Jersey for RESTful API. I have written unit tests using TestNG and Jersey Test Framework and am running them in-memory and not on a web server.
In my tests I make a JDBC call to my MySQL database and get some results. The tests run fine when I run from within Eclipse using the TestNG for Eclipse plugin. However, when I try running from Maven using either of the two commands:
mvn clean package
or
mvn test
I get the output as shown below:
My pom.xml is as follows:

Your help is appreciated as this is driving me crazy. I am not sure what am I missing exactly.

There are several issues with your pom.xml file.
First the scope for mysql-connector-java in dependencyManagement section is defined incorrectly:
<dependency>
<groupId>mysql</groupId>
<artifactId>mysql-connector-java</artifactId>
<version>5.1.44</version>
<scope>runtime, test</scope>
</dependency>
Maven doesn't allow defining comma separated list of scopes. In your case it is enough to specify runtime scope as then library will be available during test execution and runtime. So it should be
<scope>runtime</scope>
Next dependencyManagement section is used only to declare "standard" usage of the dependency in project and it's child projects. To actually include the library in you project it should be listed in project dependencies. And your pom lacks
<dependency>
<groupId>mysql</groupId>
<artifactId>mysql-connector-java</artifactId>
</dependency>
among project dependencies.

Maven project setup

I currently got a project with flat structure with following dependency;
Core --> core.jar
Service --> WAR
Domain --> domain.jar
Web -> WAR
Pretty much, everything depends on core.jar from Core module, and Web depend on domain jar from Domain module, which is depend on Core.
I'm planning to convert this to Maven, I need some feed back on possible best structure I should use.
Choices I have is to keep the current structure then produce jar files from each module and use them as part of dependency with maven. Or
Re structure the modules in some sort of hierarchy, where I need some help.
I want to follow some sort of best practice use of Maven.

Set up a parent pom, which you can use to keep the dependencies managed across the child projects. Then set up each of your jar/war artifacts as modules.
Each module sources its dependencies using the normal <dependencies> in the module pom.
so have this:
parent-project [pom]:
modules:
core [jar]
domain [jar] - depends on core
service [war] - depends on core
web [war] - depends on domain
And as a concrete example, here's a sample of one of my projects:

Create a POM Project as Parent
Add each jar and war as Module
Choices I have is to keep the current structure then produce jar files from each module and use them as part of dependency with maven.
