Getting started with Maven Useful command line options Essential plugins
Create Java project -DskipTests=true compiles the tests, but skips Help plugin — used to get relative information about a
mvn archetype:generate running them project or the system.
-DgroupId=org.yourcompany.project mvn help:describe describes the attributes of a plugin
-DartifactId=application -Dmaven.test.skip=true skips compiling the tests mvn help:effective-pom displays the effective POM
and does not run them
as an XML for the current build, with the active profiles
Create web project -T - number of threads: factored in.
mvn archetype:generate -T 4 is a decent default
-DgroupId=org.yourcompany.project -T 2C - 2 threads per CPU Dependency plugin — provides the capability to
-DartifactId=application manipulate artifacts.
-DarchetypeArtifactId=maven-archetype-webapp -rf, --resume-from resume build from the mvn dependency:analyze analyzes the dependencies
specified project of this project
mvn dependency:tree prints a tree of dependencies
Create archetype from existing project -pl, --projects makes Maven build only specified
mvn archetype:create-from-project modules and not the whole project
Compiler plugin — compiles your java code.
-am, --also-make makes Maven figure out what Set language level with the following configuration:
Main phases
modules out target depends on and build them too <plugin>
clean — delete target directory
<groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId>
validate — validate, if the project is correct
-o, --offline work offline <artifactId>maven-compiler-plugin</
compile — compile source code, classes stored
artifactId>
in target/classes -X, --debug enable debug output
<version>3.6.1</version>
test — run tests
-P, --activate-profiles comma-delimited list <configuration>
package — take the compiled code and package it in its
of profiles to activate <source>1.8</source>
distributable format, e.g. JAR, WAR
<target>1.8</target>
verify — run any checks to verify the package is valid
-U, --update-snapshots forces a check for updated </configuration>
and meets quality criteria
dependencies on remote repositories </plugin>
install — install the package into the local repository
deploy — copies the final package to the remote repository -ff, --fail-fast stop at first failure Version plugin — used when you want to manage
the versions of artifacts in a project's POM.

compile maven-compiler-plugin compiler:compile Wrapper plugin — an easy way to ensure

Central Dependencies
a user of your Maven build has everything

test
Spring Boot plugin — compiles your
Local Repository Spring Boot app, build an executable fat jar.
~/.m2/settings.xml package maven-jar-plugin jar:jar
Exec — amazing general purpose plugin,
can run arbitrary commands :)
