(4) finally (customize)

mvn archetype:generate -DgroupId=fr.myGroupId -DartifactId=MyApplication -Dpackagename=fr.myGroupId -DarchetypeArtifactId=maven-archetype-quickstart .

Answer 2

You can build a maven project with m2e by right-clicking your project or your .pom, selecting Run as then Maven build... then write package into the goal field and click Run.

The according keyboard shortcut is Alt+Ctrl+X, then m - it will get you to the same dialog.

The result will probably be a .war file in the target subfolder of your project.

Answer 3

In your Eclipse, Run-->Run Configurations --> on left you will see "Maven Build".on right please mention your goal in the goals tab. for eg:-Dmaven.tomcat.port=8080 tomcat:run

Answer 4

In the goal field on Run Configurations dialog (Main tab), you can input any of the following Maven's phases:

---

1. validate – validate the project is correct and all necessary information is available
2. compile – compile the source code of the project
3. test – test the compiled source code using a suitable unit testing framework. These tests should not require the code to be packaged or deployed package – take the compiled code and package it in its distributable format, such as a JAR.
4. integration-test – process and deploy the package if necessary into an environment where integration tests can be run
5. verify – run any checks to verify the package is valid and meets quality criteria
6. install – install the package into the local repository, for use as a dependency in other projects locally
7. deploy – done in an integration or release environment, copies the final package to the remote repository for sharing with other developers and projects.
