I am using a different plugin (ant4eclipse) to jar my files. What is the best way to avoid the maven-jar plugin from executing?
- I tried to remove the
<plugin>maven-jar-plugin</plugin>
- I tried 开发者_开发百科to
<exclude> ** / * < / exclude>
- I tried to
<skip>true</skip>
None worked
In Maven 3.0.x (I tried 3.0.2) you can disable maven-jar-plugin
by binding the default-jar
execution to a nonexistent phase, as @bmargulies suggested. Unfortunately that doesn't work in 2.2.1, but you can prevent it from interfering with your own jar by setting an alternative <finalName>
and <classifier>
for the default-jar
execution; it will still create a jar, but it will be set as a secondary artifact for the project and won't overwrite the one you've created. Here's an example that should work in both Maven 2 and Maven 3:
<project>
<modelVersion>4.0.0</modelVersion>
<groupId>test</groupId>
<artifactId>test</artifactId>
<version>0.1-SNAPSHOT</version>
<build>
<plugins>
<plugin>
<artifactId>maven-jar-plugin</artifactId>
<executions>
<execution>
<id>default-jar</id>
<phase>none</phase>
<configuration>
<finalName>unwanted</finalName>
<classifier>unwanted</classifier>
</configuration>
</execution>
</executions>
</plugin>
</plugins>
</build>
</project>
Once you've disabled maven-jar-plugin
, maven-install-plugin
may give you trouble too. In Maven 3 it can be disabled the same as maven-jar-plugin
: bind default-install
to a nonexistent phase. However, in Maven 2 maven-install-plugin
requires that the target/classes
directory exist, and it will install the dummy jar when there isn't a primary artifact present.
This should do the trick - notice the use of <id>default-jar</id>
and <phase/>
.
<build>
<plugins>
<plugin>
<groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId>
<artifactId>maven-jar-plugin</artifactId>
<version>2.4</version>
<executions>
<execution>
<id>default-jar</id>
<phase/>
</execution>
</executions>
</plugin>
</plugins>
</build>
In my case, I only wanted to disable the jar plugin because the jar was empty. You can use the skipIfEmpty
option in the plugin configuration
<plugin>
<groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId>
<artifactId>maven-jar-plugin</artifactId>
<version>3.0.2</version>
<configuration>
<skipIfEmpty>true</skipIfEmpty>
</configuration>
</plugin>
What happens if you declare this?
<packaging>pom</packaging>
Even if it does what you're looking for, be careful. I'm not sure if there could be negative side effects -- such as other maven projects that depend on your jar not being able to locate it.
Using maven 3.3.9, the following worked for me:
<plugin>
<groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId>
<artifactId>maven-jar-plugin</artifactId>
<version>3.1.2</version>
<executions>
<execution>
<id>default-jar</id>
<phase>none</phase>
<configuration>
<finalName>unwanted</finalName>
<classifier>unwanted</classifier>
</configuration>
</execution>
</executions>
</plugin>
<plugin>
<groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId>
<artifactId>maven-install-plugin</artifactId>
<version>3.0.0-M1</version>
<configuration>
<skip>true</skip>
</configuration>
</plugin>
So in case of the maven-jar-plugin, I bound it to a non-existent phase. For the maven-install-plugin, I used the "skip" configuration parameter. The documentation about it says: "Set this to true to bypass artifact installation. Use this for artifacts that does not need to be installed in the local repository."
Explicitly bind the jar plugin to a phase that doesn't exist.
As other's have said, it's not possible to turn it off, other than using <packaging>pom</packaging>
, which turns everything off and is probably not what you want.
Even though it will generate twice, a working solution is to bind your jar process to the package
phase, as that is guaranteed to run after the default. By overwriting the same JAR file, you'll find that yours is used wherever the original would have been.
I am using a different plugin to jar my files. What is the best way to avoid the maven-jar plugin from executing?
First, the jar:jar
goal is bound by default on the package
phase for a project with a packaging of type jar
. Second, there is no way to unbind a plugin bound to a phase. So, if you are using another plugin(?), either accept to produce 2 JARs or change the packaging (but I don't think this will work well).
<plugin>
<groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId>
<artifactId>maven-jar-plugin</artifactId>
<configuration>
<skip>true</skip>
</configuration>
</plugin>
