#Maven install install#
#Maven install full#

Also, when we actually try to create a single jar / flat jar file that is created out of multiple dependent maven projects.The main project which will include the sub project, will not be able to access the classes and methods which are present as part of the sub project’s jar file. When we work with multiple maven projects and include them as dependencies to other projects.Now let look at couple of reasons why we suggest to go for first approach and not for second approach.

#Maven install full#

You can even provide a hard coded or full absolute path instead of the above notation. $ refers to your project’s base directory and the remaining part is the path to your jar from the base directory. And in the path we need to specify the path where jar file is located. That is you can call the respective classes and methods which are part of the included jar file.Ībove is the example based on the syntax provided by maven.

Once the custom "Maven Build" configuration was chosen, it will then invoke Maven with the options in this run configuration.This approach allows you to include jar file as part of your maven project and be able to work in eclipse properly. As such, this pop-up is asking the user to select one. In the above screenshots, you can see that there was 2 custom "Maven Build" run configuration, which were named clean and clean install. If you have more than one, it will ask you for the one to run:

If you have only one custom "Maven Build" run configuration, it will launch that one.

This will try to launch the configured custom run configurations. You could see it as a short-cut for creating custom "Maven Build" run configurations. What happens is that M2Eclipse will create a new one, that you can fill exactly like above. This will actually launch the previous dialog where we created a new run configuration. The options "Maven generate-sources", "Maven test" or "Maven clean" are actually following the same idea: all of those will directly invoke Maven with the generate-sources phase, the test phase or the clean phase.

#Maven install install#

It will have the same effect as running the command mvn install on the command-line, with an external Maven installation. This is the simple one: "Maven install" will launch the configured Maven installation in Eclipse with the goal install.

So what are all those "Run As" options? Maven install attribute checking "Update Snapshots" will launch Maven with the -U flag, etc. Adding a profile will launch Maven with a -P.

goals, potential profiles and several options: all those options will make up for the exact command that will be launched.

(This allows to have a single run configuration for multiple projects). In the above screenshot, I used the Eclipse variable $, which is replaced automatically by the base directory of the current selected project in the "Project Explorer" when run.

the base directory: this will be the folder where Maven will be invoked in.

Above, it is named with the goals that it will invoke.

a name: this will be the unique name of the configuration.

You can create a new "Maven Build" run configuration, by giving it: This will open a dialog where you can configure those custom configurations. What are all those options? First of all, you need to be aware that you can: Configure custom "Run Configuration"s in Eclipse To be clear, we're talking about what M2Eclipse shows in the "Run As" selection. mvn install will invoke all the phases up to the phase install, which generally consists of compiling the source code, packaging the project and installing it in the local repository. First of all, build is not a phase in the standard Maven lifecycles, whereas install is one.
