Apache Maven is a build automation tool used primarily for Java projects but can be used to build and manage projects written in C#, Ruby, Scala, and other languages. This action runs the Maven command-line - for more information about the project and documentation on the command-line arguments, please visit the Maven website or reference articles.
A name for this action (this will appear within the stage action list).
An action which is not enabled is effectively skipped when executing the given stage.
The start or working directory to run the Maven command line in.
The build lifecycle phases and goals to run
The Using drop down is populated by any property collector properties whose namespace matches the pattern defined by the Maven action. The pattern for this action is ^Maven\..*
. The default property collector searches the environment path for "mvn.cmd".
If you create a property collector for this action, make sure you select the Path Finder PlugIn type and give it a name that will match the pattern above in blue.
For more in-depth explanations on property collectors see Property Collectors.
Alternatively, you can select the Custom option from the Using drop down list and specify a path in the resulting input field that will be displayed. Please read Why it's a good idea to use a property collector before using this option.
The id of the build strategy to use. --builder.
A comma-delimited list of profile-ids of build profiles to activate. --activate-profiles
Comma-delimited list of specific reactor projects to build instead of all projects. A project can be specified by [groupId]:artifactId or by its relative path. --projects
Specif a project name to resume a build from a particular project. --resume-from
An alternate path for the global setting file. --global-settings
An alternate path for the user setting file. –settings
An alternate path for the global toolchains file. --global-toolchains
An alternate path for the user toolchains file. --toolchains
Logging verbosity level (Quiet, Errors, Normal, Debug).
The Quiet option only prints a message to the output if there is an error or a problem. --quiet
The Debug option will print an overwhelming amount of debugging log messages to the output and is useful if you are attempting to diagnose a difficult problem with a dependency or a classpath. --debug
As described. Useful you need to diagnose an error in a Maven plugin. --errors
As described. --fail-never
As described. --fail-at-end
As described. --fail-fast
As described. --legacy-local-repository
Skip child projects. --non-recursive
Build the project in offline mode using local files without connecting to remote repositories for updates. --offline
Choose "Update Snapshots" to force a check for update releases and snapshots on remote repositories. --update-snapshots
Choose "No Snapshot Updates" to suppress checking for update releases and snapshots on remote repositories. --no-snapshot-updates
Choose "Default" to default to the snapshot updating policy set in your environment.
Choose "Strict Checksums" to fail the build if the checksums do not match the when downloading artifacts from repositories. --strict-checksums
Choose "Lax Checksums" to cause a warning to be displayed if the checksums do not match the when downloading artifacts from repositories. --lax-checksums
Choose "No Checksums" to default to ignoring checksum mismatches.
Number of threads Maven should use for parallel builds. Specify the exact number of threads e.g. 4, or a core multiplier e.g. 2C or 1.5C for 2 threads per core or 1.5 threads per core. --threads
Number of seconds Continua CI should wait before timing out the Maven action and aborting the command line.
Tick to continue build on failure marking the action with a warning status.
If this is ticked, any warnings logged will not mark the action with a warning status.
Use this field to define the values of properties to be used in a Maven POM or Plugin. Specify each property as a name and value pair - one per line. --define
Multiple environment variables can be defined - one per line. These are set before the command line is run.
If this is ticked, environment variable values are written to the build log.
Tick this checkbox to set up a list of new environment variables prefixed with 'ContinuaCI.' for all current system expression objects and variables.
This checkbox is visible only if the 'Generate system environment variables' checkbox is ticked.
If this is ticked, the values of any variables marked as sensitive will be masked with **** when setting system environment variables. Clear this to expose the values.
