The maven distribution includes a tool to check version order. It was used to produce the examples in the previous paragraphs. Feel free to run it yourself when in doubt. You can run it like this:. Exclusions tell Maven not to include the specified project that is a dependency of this dependency in other words, its transitive dependency. For example, the maven-embedder requires maven-core , and we do not wish to use it or its dependencies, then we would add it as an exclusion.
It is also sometimes useful to clip a dependency's transitive dependencies. A dependency may have incorrectly specified scopes, or dependencies that conflict with other dependencies in your project. Using wildcard excludes makes it easy to exclude all a dependency's transitive dependencies. In the case below you may be working with the maven-embedder and you want to manage the dependencies you use yourself, so you clip all the transitive dependencies:.
One powerful addition that Maven brings to build management is the concept of project inheritance. Although in build systems such as Ant inheritance can be simulated, Maven makes project inheritance explicit in the project object model.
The packaging type required to be pom for parent and aggregation multi-module projects. These types define the goals bound to a set of lifecycle stages. For example, if packaging is jar , then the package phase will execute the jar:jar goal. Now we may add values to the parent POM, which will be inherited by its children. Most elements from the parent POM are inherited by its children, including:.
Notice the relativePath element. It is not required, but may be used as a signifier to Maven to first search the path given for this project's parent, before searching the local and then remote repositories. Similar to the inheritance of objects in object oriented programming, POMs that extend a parent POM inherit certain values from that parent.
Moreover, just as Java objects ultimately inherit from java. Besides inheriting certain top-level elements, parents have elements to configure values for child POMs and transitive dependencies. One of those elements is dependencyManagement. Note that the version and scope of artifacts which are incorporated from transitive dependencies are also controlled by version specifications in a dependency management section.
This can lead to unexpected consequences. Consider a case in which your project uses two dependences, dep1 and dep2. If you then use dependencyManagement to specify an older version, dep2 will be forced to use the older version, and fail.
So, you must be careful to check the entire dependency tree to avoid this problem; mvn dependency:tree is helpful. A project with modules is known as a multi-module, or aggregator project. Modules are projects that this POM lists, and are executed as a group. A pom packaged project may aggregate the build of a set of projects by listing them as modules, which are relative paths to the directories or the POM files of those projects.
You do not need to consider the inter-module dependencies yourself when listing the modules; i. Maven will topologically sort the modules such that dependencies are always build before dependent modules. Inheritance and aggregation create a nice dynamic to control builds through a single, high-level POM. You often see projects that are both parents and aggregators. For example, the entire Maven core runs through a single base POM org.
However, an aggregator project and a parent project are both POM projects, they are not one and the same and should not be confused. A POM project may be inherited from - but does not necessarily have - any modules that it aggregates. Conversely, a POM project may aggregate projects that do not inherit from it.
Properties are the last required piece to understand POM basics. Maven properties are value placeholders, like properties in Ant. Or they can be used by plugins as default values, for example:. Note: While environment variables themselves are case-insensitive on Windows, lookup of properties is case-sensitive. The names of environment variables are normalized to all upper-case for the sake of reliability.
Beyond the basics of the POM given above, there are two more elements that must be understood before claiming basic competency of the POM. They are the build element, that handles things like declaring your project's directory structure and managing plugins; and the reporting element, that largely mirrors the build element for reporting purposes.
According to the POM 4. Let us begin with an analysis of the common elements between the two. Note: These different build elements may be denoted "project build" and "profile build". BaseBuild is exactly as it sounds: the base set of elements between the two build elements in the POM. For a more comprehensive look at what filters are and what they can do, take a look at the quick start guide.
Another feature of build elements is specifying where resources exist within your project. Resources are not usually code. They are not compiled, but are items meant to be bundled within your project or used for various other reasons, such as code generation. For example, a Plexus project requires a configuration. In order for the JAR plugin to bundle the resource correctly, you would specify resources similar to the following:.
Beyond the standard coordinate of groupId:artifactId:version , there are elements which configure the plugin or this builds interaction with it. And consider the following plugin configuration from a project that uses that parent as its parent:. The default behavior is to merge the content of the configuration element according to element name. If the child POM has a particular element, that value becomes the effective value.
Note that this is purely an operation on XML; no code or configuration of the plugin itself is involved. Only the elements, not their values, are involved.
You can control how child POMs inherit configuration from parent POMs by adding attributes to the children of the configuration element. The attributes are combine.
Use these attributes in a child POM to control how Maven combines plugin configuration from the parent with the explicit configuration in the child. You cannot use both combine. Note that these attributes only apply to the configuration element they are declared on, and are not propagated to nested elements. That is if the content of an item element from the child POM was a complex structure instead of text, its sub-elements would still be subject to the default merge strategy unless they were themselves marked with attributes.
The combine. For example, suppose you wanted to bind the antrun:run goal to the verify phase. We want the task to echo the build directory, as well as avoid passing on this configuration to its children assuming it is a parent by setting inherited to false. You would get an execution like this:. If we added these specifications to the plugins element, they would apply only to a single POM.
However, if we apply them under the pluginManagement element, then this POM and all inheriting POMs that add the maven-jar-plugin to the build will get the pre-process-classes execution as well.
So rather than the above mess included in every child pom. The Build type in the XSD denotes those elements that are available only for the "project build". Despite the number of extra elements six , there are really only two groups of elements that project build contains that are missing from the profile build: directories and extensions. The set of directory elements live in the parent build element, which set various directory structures for the POM as a whole.
Since they do not exist in profile builds, these cannot be altered by profiles. Please note that the scriptSourceDirectory is nowhere used in Maven and is obsolete. Extensions are a list of artifacts that are to be used in this build. They will be included in the running build's classpath. They can enable extensions to the build process such as add an ftp provider for the Wagon transport mechanism , as well as make plugins active which make changes to the build lifecycle.
In short, extensions are artifacts that are activated during build. The extensions do not have to actually do anything nor contain a Mojo. For this reason, extensions are excellent for specifying one out of multiple implementations of a common plugin interface.
Reporting contains the elements that correspond specifically for the site generation phase. Stack Overflow for Teams — Collaborate and share knowledge with a private group.
