The problem is not with exec-maven-plugin
but with m2e
plugin which doesn't know what to do with exec-maven-plugin
. The simplest way to fix the problem is to ignore that plugin during build within Eclipse (right click on the problem and use a proposed solution). Command-line invocation will still run the batch.
If you wish m2e
can be configured more sophisticately. Take a look on the snippet from one of my projects:
<pluginManagement>
<plugins>
...
<!-- The following plugin is solely to make Eclipse happy, it's not executed during regular build -->
<plugin>
<groupId>org.eclipse.m2e</groupId>
<artifactId>lifecycle-mapping</artifactId>
<version>1.0.0</version>
<configuration>
<lifecycleMappingMetadata>
<pluginExecutions>
<pluginExecution>
<pluginExecutionFilter>
<groupId>com.googlecode.cmake-maven-project</groupId>
<artifactId>cmake-maven-plugin</artifactId>
<versionRange>[2.8.11-b4-SNAPSHOT,)</versionRange>
<goals>
<goal>generate</goal>
<goal>compile</goal>
</goals>
</pluginExecutionFilter>
<action>
<execute />
</action>
</pluginExecution>
</pluginExecutions>
</lifecycleMappingMetadata>
</configuration>
</plugin>
</plugins>
</pluginManagement>
Also you may run virtually any goal of any plugin during any phase or completely disable its execution. Here I disable default-deploy
of the maven-deploy-plugin
and assign a customized goal deploy-file
to the deploy
phase:
<plugin>
<groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId>
<artifactId>maven-deploy-plugin</artifactId>
<version>2.5</version>
<executions>
<execution>
<id>default-deploy</id>
<phase>none</phase>
</execution>
<execution>
<id>versioned-deploy</id>
<goals>
<goal>deploy-file</goal>
</goals>
<phase>deploy</phase>
<configuration>
<file>${project.build.directory}/${project.build.finalName}.${project.packaging}</file>
<repositoryId>${project.distributionManagement.repository.id}</repositoryId>
<url>${project.distributionManagement.repository.url}</url>
<generatePom>false</generatePom>
<pomFile>${effective_dir}/pom.xml</pomFile>
</configuration>
</execution>
</executions>
</plugin>
There's a special mvn help:effective-pom
command which allows you to understand what is the final configuration of a mavenized project.
