Maven hello world

Categories: Java; Tagged with: ; @ July 21st, 2013 11:45

Use maven to create, test, build project.

Steps:

  1. Create new project:
    mvn archetype:generate -DgroupId=com.liguoliang.app -DartifactId=my-app -DarchetypeArtifactId=maven-archetype-quickstart -DinteractiveMode=false
  2. init Eclipse project:
    mvn eclipse:eclipse
  3. import the project into eclipse. (or you can directly create maven project in Eclipse using the Eclipse maven plugin)
  4. build the package:
    mvn package

 

life cycle:

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

Trouble shooting

Error: Caused by: java.lang.UnsupportedClassVersionError:Unsupported major.minor version 51.0

Check the JVM which is using by Maven:

mvn –version can get a summary:

C:\Users\Guoliang>mvn -version
Apache Maven 3.0.4 (r1232337; 2012-01-17 16:44:56+0800)
Maven home: C:\Tools\sts\apache-maven-3.0.4\bin\..
Java version: 1.7.0_17, vendor: Oracle Corporation
Java home: C:\Tools\jdk7\jre
Default locale: en_SG, platform encoding: GBK
OS name: "windows 7", version: "6.1", arch: "x86", family: "windows"

You can edit the Java Home path or specify the JVM for maven.
