Re: running a specific plugin only while deploying ; running multiple times a same plugin while varying its parameters

[Saritha SV]

Hi

For running multiple times a same plugin with various
parameters , you can use profiles .

http://maven.apache.org/guides/introduction/introduction-to-profiles.html

this will give you an intro to build profiles .
You can use different profiles in pom.xml  , with the same plugin having
different arguments .
And u can list the active Profiles in settings.xml or u can specify the
profiles to be executed in the command line separated by comma .

find an eg of using 2 different profiles in pom.xml with maven-exec-plugin .

<profiles>
     <profile>
         <activation>
             <property>
                 <name>testProfile1</name>
             </property>
         </activation>
         <build>
             <plugin>
                 <groupId>org.codehaus.mojo</groupId>
                 <artifactId>exec-maven-plugin</artifactId>
                 <configuration>
                     <executable>java</executable>
                     <arguments>
                         <argument>-classpath</argument>
                         <classpath />
                         <argument>
                             com.test.example
                         </argument>
                     </arguments>
                 </configuration>
             </plugin>
         </build>
     </profile>
     <profile>
         <activation>
             <property>
                 <name>testProfile2</name>
             </property>
         </activation>
         <build>
             <plugin>
                 <groupId>org.codehaus.mojo</groupId>
                 <artifactId>exec-maven-plugin</artifactId>
                 <configuration>
                     <executable>java</executable>
                     <arguments>
                         <argument>-classpath</argument>
                         <classpath />
                         <argument>
                             com.testProfile.example2
                         </argument>
                     </arguments>
                 </configuration>
             </plugin>
         </build>
     </profile>
 </profiles



in command line you can run the profile by
mvn exec:exec -P testProfile1,  testProfile2

or in settings it can be like :


<settings>
  ...
  <activeProfiles>
    <activeProfile>testProfile1</activeProfile>

    <activeProfile>testProfile2</activeProfile>

  </activeProfiles>
  ...
</settings>
