I am trying to set up my POM such that when I do mvn exec:exec
or mvn exec:java
it will first compile the source and iff successful, execute it.
I have the following and have tried moving the <execution>
part about but can't get it to work:
<build>
<plugins>
<plugin>
<groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId>
<artifactId>maven-compiler-plugin</artifactId>
<version>3.1</version>
<configuration>
<source>1.7</source>
<target>1.7</target>
</configuration>
<executions>
<execution>
<phase>exec</phase>
</execution>
</executions>
</plugin>
<plugin>
<groupId>org.codehaus.mojo</groupId>
<artifactId>exec-maven-plugin</artifactId>
<version>1.2.1</version>
<configuration>
<mainClass>my.main.class</mainClass>
</configuration>
</plugin>
</plugins>
</build>
When I do either mvn exec:exec ...
or mvn exec:java
it doesn't first compile. I have tried putting the <execution>
part in the exec
plugin section but that didn't work either?
