Tech Trek: A Software Engineer's Guide to Code and Beyond

Problem Statement : Suppose your are working on Java Project which uses Maven structure where your source code is under “ /src/main/java” and all your configuration files like .properties file or xml file are under “ /src/main/resources” and as a final build your final package is a jar but you want without few files from your classpath. Be default Maven plugin adds all the file which comes under resources in jar file. Solution : You can achieve the above task by using maven-jar-plugin as follows : < plugin >     < groupId > org.apache.maven.plugins </ groupId >     < artifactId > maven-jar-plugin </ artifactId >     < version > 2.3 </ version >     < configuration >         < excludes >             < exclude > **/otp.properties </ exclude >         </ excludes >   ...

Recently While importing one Maven project into Eclipse(Juno, m2e plug-ins is already installed in Eclipse). I was getting one error in project : maven-dependency-plugin (goals “copy-dependencies”, “unpack”) is not supported by m2e Reason: Eclipse m2e does not support execution, by copying the below code in the build tag resolve the issue. Example: <build> <COPY_CODE_HERE> </build> Code : < pluginManagement > < plugins > <!--This plugin's configuration is used to store Eclipse m2e settings only. It has no influence on the Maven build itself. --> < plugin > < groupId > org.eclipse.m2e </ groupId > < artifactId > lifecycle-mapping </ artifactId > < version > 1.0.0 </ version > < configuration > < lifecycleMappingMetadata > < pluginExecutions > < pluginExecution > <...
