Problem uploading with maven-wagon-plugin - java

Im having a strange problem when im trying to let the wagon plugin upload files during the site-deploy lifecycle when i'm invoking the release:perform goal.
It seems wagon uploads the files correctly when im invoking mvn site-deploy but it just responds with
Nothing to upload
when calling mvn release:perform which is supposed to invoke the phases site site-deploy as stated in the documentation.
this is the plugin config for wagon.
<plugin>
<groupId>org.codehaus.mojo</groupId>
<artifactId>wagon-maven-plugin</artifactId>
<version>1.0-beta-3</version>
<executions>
<execution>
<id>upload-jars</id>
<phase>deploy site-deploy</phase>
<goals>
<goal>upload</goal>
</goals>
<configuration>
<fromDir>target/checkout/target</fromDir>
<includes>*.jar</includes>
<url>scpexe://nohost.com</url>
<toDir>/var/www/projects/test</toDir>
<serverId>server - projects</serverId>
</configuration>
</execution>
</executions>
</plugin>
maven tells me the right goals were started:
[INFO] Executing goals 'deploy site-deploy'...
[INFO] [INFO] Scanning for projects...
but wagon doesn't upload anything:
[INFO] [INFO] --- wagon-maven-plugin:1.0-beta-3:upload (default) # exp4j ---
[INFO] [INFO] Nothing to upload.
[INFO] [INFO] ------------------------------------------------------------------------
[INFO] [INFO] BUILD SUCCESS
Does anyone spot my problem that causes maven to work as expected when invoking site-deploy but failing when doing a release:perform ?

This plugin does not do what you think it does. Trust me, I've been there.
The underlying wagon protocol is only intended for talking to Maven Repositories, not arbitrary directories. If the stuff you are pushing doesn't have files and directories in the pattern of a repo, the plugin will decide that there's nothing for it to do.
I spent hours and hours and hours on this, and read the code, and reached the conclusion that this plugin is not intended to be useful for pushing arbitrary files to arbitrary places, and in fact does not work for that purpose.

I had the same issue until I've found at that the "includes" tag must contains "/*" to recursively include files and subdirectories.

kubernetes-maven-plugin - Dockerfile Build Fails with .git issue

I am testing out some migration in Maven from a Spotify dockerfile plugin with Fabric8 to just using Eclipse's JKube plugin. I have been hitting errors with what I thought would be a simple enough build using a Dockerfile.
The POM config is like so:
<plugin>
<groupId>org.eclipse.jkube</groupId>
<artifactId>kubernetes-maven-plugin</artifactId>
<version>1.5.1</version>
<configuration>
<images>
<image>
<name>${docker.image.prefix}/${docker.image.name}</name>
<build>
<dockerFile>${project.basedir}/Dockerfile</dockerFile>
</build>
</image>
</images>
</configuration>
</plugin>
The Dockerfile is (per config above) in the root of the project. It is very simple
FROM adoptopenjdk/openjdk11-openj9:x86_64-ubi-jre-11.0.12_7_openj9-0.27.0
ARG JAR_FILE
ADD target/${JAR_FILE} microservice.jar
ENTRYPOINT ["java", "-jar", "microservice.jar"]
Running mvn clean install k8s:build ends with the following error message:
[INFO] --- kubernetes-maven-plugin:1.5.1:build (default-cli) # persistence-svc ---
[INFO] k8s: Running in Kubernetes mode
[INFO] k8s: Building Docker image in Kubernetes mode
[ERROR] k8s: Failed to execute the build [Error while trying to build the image:<PROJ>\target\docker\<PREFIX>\<IMAGE>\build\maven\.git\objects\pack\pack-c35818936460f0bb0c1b903466f7bf1a17f22cc8.idx]
I am not sure what I am missing. I tried to add a jKube ignore file but that made no difference.
Any pointers would be much appreciated.
Looks like I was on the correct track with the ignore file.
The syntax I had was incorrect. I had just .git/ and needed .git/**.
.git/**
src/**
target/classes/**
target/persistence-svc.jar
target/persistence-svc-sources.jar
It seems a little crazy that this should cause problems. Anyways I am sure there is a nicer solution overall but this gets me going without changing anything other than the plugins.
EDIT:
Indeed there is a better way for my use-case. Use .jkube-dockerinclude instead. Example here.

How are maven plugin aliases mapped

I am trying to understand what mvn clean:clean actually does.
mvn -B help:describe -Dcmd=clean

It appears to me that mvn clean:clean is same as doing mvn org.apache.maven.plugins:maven-clean-plugin:2.5:clean. Therefore I am assuming the first clean in mvn clean:clean is just an alias for org.apache.maven.plugins:maven-clean-plugin:2.5. Similarly mvn maven-surefire-plugin:2.12.4:test is same as mvn surefire:test.
So somehow, maven-surefire-plugin:2.12.4 seems to refer to surefire and org.apache.maven.plugins:maven-clean-plugin:2.5 to clean.
When I look at the effective-pom, I see the following
maven-surefire-plugin
2.12.4
default-test
test
test
maven-clean-plugin
2.5
default-clean
clean
clean
As you can see, the pom doesnt seem to define alias. So following are my questions
Is my understanding about plugin aliases correct
If my understanding about aliases is correct - a) how and where are they defined? b) Is there a way to list all aliases.
From official Maven documentation about plugins development:
Shortening the Command Line
There are several ways to reduce the amount of required typing:
If you need to run the latest version of a plugin installed in your local repository, you can omit its version number. So just use mvn sample.plugin:hello-maven-plugin:sayhi to run your plugin.
You can assign a shortened prefix to your plugin, such as mvn hello:sayhi. This is done automatically if you follow the convention of using ${prefix}-maven-plugin (or maven-${prefix}-plugin if the plugin is part of the Apache Maven project). You may also assign one through additional configuration - for more information see Introduction to Plugin Prefix Mapping.
Finally, you can also add your plugin's groupId to the list of groupIds searched by default. To do this, you need to add the following to your ${user.home}/.m2/settings.xml file:
<pluginGroups>
<pluginGroup>sample.plugin</pluginGroup>
</pluginGroups>
At this point, you can run the mojo with mvn hello:sayhi.
So, alias are not defined in the pom file but part of built-in mechanism of maven. Further details are also provided in the official documentation about Plugin Prefix Resolution.

Ways to make maven build faster?

I have a multi module java project. Maven takes almost around 40 secs to build it. I have tried maven with multi threaded builds too by specifying -T and -C args for no of threads and cores to be used. But I haven't seen any significant improvement in wall time of my builds.
I am using maven 3.2.3 and sometimes I need to build my project very frequently.
I know that clean goal take a lot of time but I can not omit it.
Suggestions please....
EDIT:
Note: In my case clean is not taking much time. It finishes in 1 sec. install is taking rest of the time.
Note: First thing is AFAIK, No other in built options available in maven apart from the all answers here.
Running maven build with Multiple threads works for me to speed up the builds.
For example :
mvn clean install -T100
where -T is for specifying how many threads you want based on your
hardware.
Below are the variants from wiki
Maven 3.x has the capability to perform parallel builds. The command
is as follows:
mvn -T 4 clean install Builds with 4 threads
mvn -T 1C clean install 1 thread per cpu core
mvn -T 1.5C clean install 1.5 thread per cpu core
How Execution is evaluated(See Parallel builds in Maven 3)?
Each node in the graph represents a module in a multi-module build, the "levels" simply indicate the distance to the first module in the internal reactor dependency graph. Maven calculates this graph based on declared inter-module dependencies for a multi-module build. Note that the parent maven project is also a dependency, which explains why there is a single node on top of most project graphs. Dependencies outside the reactor do not influence this graph.
Finally if you want to skip test execution you can also use -DskipTests as well.
Caution : Some of your plugins may not be compatible for multithreaded builder, it may work. but it will give below warning message. you may need to see plugin documentation for multithreading support.

Upgrade to last JAVA VERSION
I have found that the task mvn clean, is taking 2 minutes to clean the TARGET folder before building. I did create a new task called quickclean, and I am using it instead of clean, this way mvn -T 1C quickclean install -Dmaven.test.skip -DskipTests . This new task quickclean is only renaming the build folder from TARGET to TARGET-yyyy-MM-dd-HH-mm(what is VERY FAST). So now, every time you make a new mvn quickclean install..., you have a folder with the time of the build. The inconvenient, it's that this may take a lot of space on the hard disk, so you have to clean all these directories sometimes. So for that I have created another task called: trashclean, to put all this folder to trash. I am running this tasks maybe on time per week. or month, depending on my work mvn trashclean.
Here is what you need to add to your pom.xml if you want to use this concept
<properties>
<timestamp>${maven.build.timestamp}</timestamp>
<maven.build.timestamp.format>yyyy-MM-dd-HH-mm</maven.build.timestamp.format>
<trashdir>trash/target-${maven.build.timestamp}</trashdir>

You can optimize the build by using of some small-2 trick like
If you have written Junit Test and dont want to run test case every time you can use -DskipTests=true
Locally Install Nexus or Repositories
You can adjust memory configurations to optimum for eg: add this line to mvn.bat set MAVEN_OPTS=-Xmx512m -XX:MaxPermSize=256m
For more information you can check How to Speed Your Maven build
You can do a hacky way if you have some extra RAM as I do, and you don't need SSD, because it's sensitive for SSD to do a lot of read-writes. Even if you disable +a bit (MacOS - I don't remember if Win have similar issue). But
create RAM drive (number of ways depends on your OS) and mount it to /Users/Username/volatile folder
locate maven-module-builder-X.X.X.jar in MVN_HOME/lib
in JAR modify file org/apache/maven/model/pom-4.0.0.xml by modifying
<build><directory>/Users/Username/volatile/${project.groupId}/${project.artifactId}/${project.version}/target
From now on all project compilations will be done in memory. And it's a difference even in comparison with SSD.
Yes, its hack and some maven plugins can stop working BTW.
If using commandline you can check how many cores your machine has and use all of them, if you also want to skip your tests, you can add -DskipTests
For example, I have 8 core processor:
mvn -T 8C clean install -DskipTests
Apart from parallel run which many of the folks have already mentioned, try these maven options which would speed up build
-XX:+TieredCompilation -XX:TieredStopAtLevel=1
You can try turbo-maven-plugin to help speed up your multi module Maven builds locally (I am one of the plugin authors)?
https://github.com/sparebank1utvikling/turbo-maven-plugin
It works by analyzing what modules actually have code changes, and build only those and the modules dependent on them. More info about how it works here:
https://medium.com/sparebank1-digital/speed-up-your-multi-module-maven-builds-with-turbo-maven-plugin-4be0eb2a2601
Low-Level speed using Ramdisk (Windows)
My additional trick is using a ramdisk
Create a Ramdisk of 2GB (in example D:)
Install IDE, Maven, JDK and the .m2/repository to that Ramdisk (D:/m2/).
Edit the Maven's D:/maven/conf/settings.xml to use that Ramdisked repo (<localRepository>D:/m2</localRepository>)
Put the project into the ramdisk.
Run the project having its temp-folder in the Ramdisk.
On my machine I turned

Look at this beast:
If you are using spring boot with maven and you feel like dependencies are coming slow to your system, try following setting in pom.xml
<parent>
<groupId>org.springframework.boot</groupId>
<artifactId>spring-boot-starter-parent</artifactId>
<version>2.7.0</version>
<relativePath />
</parent>
I experienced that version 2.7.0 downloads the dependencies faster than other versions.

mvn dependency causing NoSuchMethod errors with htmlunit

I have dependency:
<dependency>
<groupId>net.sourceforge.htmlunit</groupId>
<artifactId>htmlunit</artifactId>
<version>2.10</version>
</dependency>
And run a test that includes testing a website for form submission. Works great. I package this up into my local repo mvn install and include it in another wider project.
Doing a mvn dependency:tree -Dverbose -Dincludes=net.sourceforge.htmlunit doesn't seem to reveal anything untoward
[INFO] --- maven-dependency-plugin:2.8:tree (default-cli) # myproject ---
[INFO] com.myproject:myproject:war:1.0-SNAPSHOT
[INFO] \- com.myproject:myproject:mp:jar:1.0:compile
[INFO] \- net.sourceforge.htmlunit:htmlunit:jar:2.10:compile
[INFO] \- net.sourceforge.htmlunit:htmlunit-core-js:jar:2.10:compile
So I don't think any of the other deps are causing an issue. Yet if I copy/paste a test from the base project into the wider one, I always get errors:
java.lang.NoSuchMethodError: com.gargoylesoftware.htmlunit.html.HtmlPage.getElementById(Ljava/lang/String;)Lcom/gargoylesoftware/htmlunit/html/HtmlElement;
I've made sure my IDE isn't caching some dodgy library somewhere so as far as I can tell it's clean. Any ideas?
Thanks
Problem is you have this class coming from some other artifact, since you verified it is not directly coming from htmlunit with different version, it must be shaded in some other jar
for jvm to get pick up correct class please put htmlunit dependency on top of dependency so it will be first in classpath taking priority

Java - Maven - OpenImaj project assembly error

I'm trying to assemble a project using maven and the OpenImaj library, I been following the instructions on this page http://www.openimaj.org/tutorial/getting-started-with-openimaj-using-maven.html but some of the process seems to be different from the one outline in the tutorial, I have tried this on two different computers (mac and pc) and received the following errors/steps, any idea of where/what I am doing wrong will be helpful.
after running the mvn -DarchetypeCatalog=http://maven.openimaj.org/archetype-catalog.xml archetype:generate line I am prompt to "Choose a number or apply filter" where the default is 284.
Once I select 284 (should I be selecting anything else?), I'm being prompt to select "maven-archetype-quickstart version" where I choose the latest 6:1.1, following by the groupId, artifactId, version, package, and Y confirmation, this result with 'Build Success' and create the directory as well as the pom.xml file on my computer.
When I navigate to the project folder "cd projectName" and run the mvn assembly:assembly command, I first see that a few of the packages are being collected, then I see a "Build Failure" notification -"Failed to execute goal org.apache.maven.plugins:maven-assembly-plugin:2.2-beta-5.... No assembly descriptors found.
any idea what I am doing wrong and how I can get the OpenImaj lib integrated into a project, should I be downloading the SVN version and attempt to set the projects from local libraries.
Many thanks in advance!
Just add this plugin to your pom.xml. This solved the problem for me:
<build>
<plugins>
<plugin>
<groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId>
<artifactId>maven-assembly-plugin</artifactId>
<configuration>
<descriptorRefs>
<descriptorRef>jar-with-dependencies</descriptorRef>
</descriptorRefs>
</configuration>
</plugin>
</plugins>
Are you sure you're entering the maven command in step 1 correctly? You should only see three options (just confirmed this is working on both OSX, debian & ubuntu):

Choose a number or apply filter (format: [groupId:]artifactId, case sensitive contains):
You then need to pick the org.openimaj:openimaj-quickstart-archetype option from the list (probably #2).
I had faced similar issues and finally worked it out. There are two things to note here. One is the network we are using and second is the maven tool we are using.
In your eclipse IDE go to window -> preferences.
Under maven tab go to installations sub-tab. Instead of using the embedded maven add filepath to maven installed on your system (The one command Line uses).
Under General Tab go to Network connections tab. Change the active provider.
Neither of the above will completly build the project successfully in one go. But each combination of network and maven will download some jars. Once you try two to three combinations you will have all the jars and the project will build successfully.
