Maven Plugin Configuration - The (Unknown) Tiny Details

Mon, 05 Apr 2021 21:23:17 +0000

Overview

If you are using Apache Maven I suppose you have configured several plugins within your pom file already. As an example we use the Maven Enforcer Plugin to prevent starting a given build with a Maven version which is less than 3.5.0 which looks like this:

 1<project>
 2  <build>
 3    <plugins>
 4      <plugin>
 5        <groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId>
 6        <artifactId>maven-enforcer-plugin</artifactId>
 7        <version>3.0.0-M3</version>
 8        <executions>
 9          <execution>
10            <id>id-enforce</id>
11            <goals>
12              <goal>enforce</goal>
13            </goals>
14            <configuration>
15              <rules>
16                <requireMavenVersion>
17                  <version>3.5.0</version>
18                </requireMavenVersion>
19              </rules>
20            </configuration>
21          </execution>
22        </executions>
23      </plugin>
24    </plugins>
25  </build>
26</project>

Now you are calling Maven like this: mvn enforcer:enforce but now you are astonished about the failure which you will be faced with (for brevity inserted some line breaks into the output):

Answering Questions on Stackoverflow means asking Questions

Sat, 30 Jan 2021 16:00:53 +0000

I'm very active on Stackoverflow and answering question on different topics but majority I do is about Apache Maven.

So how I'm going to answer a question? First of course I read the question (obviously). Most of the time I realize there is not enough information in the question to really understand the problem. Often question are like (completely exaggerated!) Does not work....

If I would like to give a good and founded answer, I have to know the details of the problem. This means in consequence I have to ask questions about the context, why people are trying/doing this or that or which versions of tools they are using or why they are violating convention over configuration paradigm in Maven (as an example) and so on. Or why people are using old versions of plugins?

Maven Plugin Testing - In a Modern way - Part VI

Mon, 28 Sep 2020 20:25:34 +0000

In the previous part of the series - Maven Plugin Testing - In a Modern way - Part V we have seen how to define system properties to run Maven. In this part we will take a deeper look how we can define profile(s) for a Maven call to be used.

Let us take a look at a simple example taken from the previous part.

1@MavenJupiterExtension
2class BaseIT {
3
4  @MavenTest
5  @MavenGoal("verify")
6  void the_first_test_case(MavenExecutionResult result) {
7     ...
8  }
9}

This will run Maven with the goal verify. In real life it makes sometimes sense to run integration tests only by activating a profile like this:

Spring Boot: Strategy Design Pattern - Convenience and Limitation

Sun, 20 Sep 2020 16:30:21 +0000

You might have already used the strategy pattern in relationship with Spring Boot where it is very convenient to use.

You simply define an interface for example (I use the prefixing I only in these examples for clarity):

1public interface IOneStrategy {
2  void executeTheThing();
3}

Define some implementations like this:

1@Service("FIRST")
2public class OneStrategyFirst implements IOneStrategy {
3
4  @Override
5  public void executeTheThing() {
6    System.out.println("OneStrategyFirst.executeTheThing");
7  }
8}

Now you can simply implement a service which will execute the appropriate strategy based on the given name which looks similar like this:

Maven Plugin Testing - In a Modern way - Part V

Thu, 10 Sep 2020 20:01:49 +0000

In the previous part of the series - Maven Plugin Testing - In a Modern way - Part IV we have seen how to define goals to run Maven. In this part we will take a deeper look how we can define system properties for a Maven call to be used.

Let us take a look at a simple example taken from the previous part.

1@MavenJupiterExtension
2class BaseIT {
3
4  @MavenTest
5  @MavenGoal("verify")
6  void the_first_test_case(MavenExecutionResult result) {
7     ...
8  }
9}

This will run Maven with the goal verify. So what could you do to prevent running the unit tests or even any tests at all within that integration test case? What would you usually do on plain command line? You would have added -DskipTests to your Maven command line. How could you do the above integration test example? Very easy like this:

Apache Maven Project Info Reports Plugin Version 3.1.1 Released

Maven Plugin Testing - In a Modern way - Part IV

Sun, 30 Aug 2020 20:15:21 +0000

In the prevous part of the series - Maven Plugin Testing - In a Modern way - Part III we have seen how to define command line options. In this part we will take a deeper look which goals will run for each test case and how we can change that.

Let us start with simple example test case like the following:

1@MavenJupiterExtension
2class BaseIT {
3
4  @MavenTest
5  void the_first_test_case(MavenExecutionResult result) {
6     ...
7  }
8}

If we ran that integration test Maven will be called like the following:

Maven Plugin Testing - In a Modern way - Part III

Tue, 25 Aug 2020 22:45:12 +0000

In the second part of the series - Maven Plugin Testing - In a Modern way - Part II we have seen how to make the basic integration test while checking the log output of Maven builds.

In this third part we will dive into how Maven will be called by default during the integration tests and how we can influence that behaviour.

Let us begin with the following basic integration test (we ignore the project which is used for testing at the moment.)

Maven Plugin Testing - In a Modern way - Part II

Fri, 21 Aug 2020 21:35:45 +0000

In the first part of the series - Maven Plugin Testing - In a Modern way - Part I we have seen how to make the basic setup with The Integration Testing Framework and run very basic integration test.

In this second part we will take a deeper look into other aspects of testing Maven plugins in particular how we check the logging output of a Maven build process.

Let us begin with writing more than a single integration test case. You can of course write multiple test cases within a single test class like the following:

Maven Plugin Testing - In a Modern way - Part I

Mon, 17 Aug 2020 23:10:38 +0000

You have decided to write a Maven Plugin. Now the important part comes around the corner: How to test a Maven Plugin? There are in general several options to test a Maven Plugins for example:

You can read about different reason not to use one of those options.

Coming back to the subject and think about to write integration tests for a Maven plugin. Writing integration test means having three parties involved:

42: The Answer To Life, The Universe and Everything

Sat, 01 Aug 2020 10:00:00 +0000

The story started with a Twitter Post about the JDK method bitCount which is available for Long and Integer types.

If you take a look into the time line, there was a reply https://twitter.com/ScottSelikoff/status/1254185742760280064 by @ScottSelikoff (funny comment of course) who stated 42 as the answer to life, the universe and everything to the magic method which has been followed by Lukas Eder:

For what percentage of longs would that be the correct result?

Stream.concat vs. new ArrayList Performance

Tue, 31 Mar 2020 00:30:31 +0000

During a code review I suggested a code improvement related to JDK8+ streams. The original code looked very similar like the following:

1List<Element> result = content.getFancyStuffs().stream()
2  .flatMap(item -> {
3        List<Element> objects = new ArrayList<>();
4        objects.add(item.getElement());
5        objects.addAll(item.getElements());
6        return objects.stream();
7      })
8  .collect(toList());

Some more details here. The getFancyStuffs() returns a list of FancyStuff elements. The FancyStuff class contains two getters where getElement() returns a single Element whereas the getElements() returns (Guess what?) a list of Element's.

Maven Artifact Checksums - What?

Sat, 13 Oct 2018 16:30:33 +0000

If you are using Apache Maven you might have faced with issues like this:

 1[ERROR] Failed to execute goal org.apache.maven.plugins:maven-shade-plugin:2.1:shade (default) on project cores-batch: Error creating shaded jar: invalid LOC header (bad signature) -> [Help 1]
 2...
 3.... (remove many lines for brevity).
 4...
 5Caused by: java.util.zip.ZipException: invalid LOC header (bad signature)
 6    at java.util.zip.ZipFile.read(Native Method)
 7    at java.util.zip.ZipFile.access$1400(ZipFile.java:56)

11    at java.io.FilterInputStream.read(FilterInputStream.java:107)
12...

How could that happen? Most of the time these are downloading/network issues which are causing something like this. In extreme rare cases it might also be a hardware error (But usually I have my doubts about that). This means the downloaded artifacts are not correctly downloaded or downloaded from repositories which do not exist anymore. Or any other strange thing you could imagine. If you have artifacts which contain html snippets this is an indicator that you are trying to download artifacts from repositories which do not exist anymore. This means you have to check you configuration for your used repositories which is obviously wrong.

Continuous Delivery with Maven

Sun, 26 Aug 2018 17:15:12 +0000

Based on todays requirements it is needed to do a continuous delivery of your artifacts by each change on your master (Git)/trunk(SVN). The question is what you need to achieve this with Maven?

Usually you are using so called SNAPSHOT versions which means your version looks like 1.2.3-SNAPSHOT and indicates that you are currently working towards the release version 1.2.3. Afterwards you continue with the next snapshot version like 1.2.4-SNAPSHOT and so on. Depending on your environment this has been changed which means that each change you have made on master (Git) you need to produce a new release version which means 1.2.3 and next will be 1.2.4. The development will be done on branches where you might need a SNAPSHOT version.

Tue, 21 Aug 2018 19:09:56 +0000

I quite often see Spring Boot projects which are using the spring-boot-starter-parent as the following:

 1<project xmlns="http://maven.apache.org/POM/4.0.0" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"
 2  xsi:schemaLocation="http://maven.apache.org/POM/4.0.0 http://maven.apache.org/xsd/maven-4.0.0.xsd">
 3  <modelVersion>4.0.0</modelVersion>
 4
 5  <parent>
 6    <groupId>org.springframework.boot</groupId>
 7    <artifactId>spring-boot-starter-parent</artifactId>
 8    <version>2.0.4.RELEASE</version>

12  <properties>
13    <project.build.sourceEncoding>UTF-8</project.build.sourceEncoding>
14    <project.reporting.outputEncoding>UTF-8</project.reporting.outputEncoding>

23      </plugin>
24    </plugins>
25  </build>
26</project>

So far so good. Notices something? I have to mention that you can do it a little bit shorter like this:

Automate it - Be Lazy - Part II

Mon, 30 Jul 2018 20:02:11 +0000

As I wrote in my previous post about automation I would continue my post. So here it is.

The following parts are left from my process:

The process

Create an issue for myself (if already existing move to step 2)
Create a branch within the appropriate project based on the issue
Assign the issue to myself
Migrate the issue into the state of IN PROGRESS
Done.
Done.
Done.
Done.
Close the appropriate jira issue with a reference to the commit in comment.

If I work on updates of dependencies or parents in our builds, it is required to make a JIRA ticket for each of those updates (ok not really required but it is useful). It makes sense to test each of those updates separately in Jenkins. In the end it is an important information for the end-users, so they can see what has been changed.

Automate it - Be Lazy - Part I

Sat, 21 Jul 2018 10:00:00 +0000

So based on my passion as open source developer in particular for the Apache Maven Project. I work JIRA based which helps us and myself to organize our work and of course follow the reported issues, feature request etc.

So usually I start my work based on a particular issue in JIRA and go via the following process:

The process

Create an issue for myself (if already existing move to step 2)
Create a branch within the appropriate project based on the issue
Assign the issue to myself
Migrate the issue into the state of IN PROGRESS
Do some work on the branch and commit
Push the branch to remote and let Jenkins check the branch repeat with Step 5 until I finished my work.
Rebase against master if needed
Merge the created branch into master and delete the remote and local branch.
Close the appropriate jira issue with a reference to the commit in comment.

Let us take a look at a real life example. The exemplary issue is MCLEAN-87 which has been worked on and commited with an appropriate commit message which should look like the following:

Get the version of your Maven project on command line?

Sat, 09 Jun 2018 16:30:00 +0000

I bet you have been faced with the situation to get the version of your Maven project on command line? So the question is how to get it? I have seen many solutions via using Linux tools like grep, cat or awk etc. also seen many solutions like using exec-maven-plugin like this:

1VERSION=$(mvn -q \
2  -Dexec.executable="echo" \
3  -Dexec.args='${project.version}' \
4  --non-recursive \
5  org.codehaus.mojo:exec-maven-plugin:1.6.0:exec)

Unfortunately the above approach will not work on Windows.

Automated Setup of a Repository Manager

Mon, 02 Oct 2017 19:30:34 +0000

Previously I was working on a Nexus Repository Manager setup for different environments like a test and a production environment with different privileges, roles, repositories, users etc.

The problem with such setups is simple: You usually do it manually which in consequence is error-prone. If you are doing that more than once, it becomes cumbersome and you are asking yourself: Isn't there a simpler solution to make that setup more reproducible?

Fortunately there is a solution for that problem.

JDK9: Howto Create A Java Run-Time Image With Maven?

Tue, 06 Jun 2017 20:15:00 +0000

At the moment JDK 9 is only available as Early Access (EA) to let the community take a look how it works and what can be improved. Apart from all the news for example about the modular system Jigsaw etc. There is one important question:

How can I create a Java Run-Time Image with Maven? But before we begin: What is a Java Run-Time Image?

The simplest answer I can give: You have a running Java Runtime environment where all parts have been removed which are not really used by the current application. Based on the modularization of the Java Plattform itself you can think of many parts which can be removed by a usuall application. This in the end will give you the opportunity to deliver only the Java Run-Time Image including your application. So this means in the target environment you do not need to install a full blown JRE. This safes space in particular if you think about Microservices.

Apache Maven 3.5.0 Release

Fri, 07 Apr 2017 23:34:00 +0000

The Apache Maven team would like to announce the release of Apache Maven 3.5.0.

You can download the appropriate sources etc. from the download page.

Notable changes

Fix various bugs in mvn scripts regarding spaces, quotations, special characters, etc. also in combination with .mvn/ -files
Switch from Eclipse Aether to Maven Artifact Resolver

What happened to Maven 3.4.0?

After Maven 3.3.9 was released, the Eclipse Aether project was retired and the code base was migrated to the Apache Maven project.

Maven: POM files without a version in it?

Sun, 02 Apr 2017 00:15:12 +0000

In Maven 3.2.5 a feature has been introduced to be able to define a version of a Maven project via properties ${revision}, ${sha1} and ${changelist} which unfortuantely had some issues. Those issues have been fixed with Maven 3.5.0-beta-1 and now you can define the version of a project by using the following properties: ${revision}, ${sha1} and ${changelist}. The example below will show one usage of this:

 1  ..
 2  <parent>
 3    <groupId>com.soebes.smpp</groupId>
 4    <artifactId>smpp</artifactId>
 5    <version>2.2.1</version>
 6  </parent>
 7
 8  <groupId>com.soebes.examples.j2ee</groupId>
 9  <artifactId>parent</artifactId>
10  <version>${revision}</version>
11  <packaging>pom</packaging>
12  ..

For the simplicity of this example I use only ${revision} but in practice you could combine the different properties.

Maven 3: How Version Comparison Works?

Sat, 04 Feb 2017 14:23:00 +0000

In the ancient time before maven 3 the version of an artifact had to follow the pattern:

1<majorversion [> . <minorversion [> . <incrementalversion ] ] [> - <buildnumber | qualifier ]>

so far so good. Now let us assume we have the following two versions:

1.0.9.3.1
1.0.10.11

What would you expect which version is newer than the other or the older one? I suppose you would say: 1.0.9.3.1 is older than 1.0.10.11 or with other words: 1.0.10.11 is newer than 1.0.9.3.1 or to express it in a more mathematical way:

Maven Incremental Module Build

Fri, 12 Aug 2016 16:30:34 +0000

If you are working with a Maven Multi Module Build on command line it could happen that you might think: Wouldn't it be nice to build only the modules which you have changed and not all modules in the reactor.

You can of course control what you build by using the --projects command line option and add the appropriate modules you would like to build. For example like this:

1mvn --projects module1,module2 clean package

But you need to think everytime you run the build about which modules have been changed and you need to adapt the list of changed modules manually.

Berlin Expert Days

Fri, 18 Sep 2015 15:26:00 +0000

I had the pleasure to do a talk on the Berlin Expert Days about Maven 3 and beyond. There had been many intersting questions about different Maven aspects of Maven like the life cycle and about the the usage of different features. For example the usable support of ${revision} in your pom file which can set via command line like the following:

1mvn -Drevision=1.0-SNAPSHOT clean package

which seemed to be unknown. What me really astonished was that there had been people who are still using Maven 2 where strongly recommended to migrate to Maven 3. Furthermore there had been serveral interesting chats afterwards about the usage of Maven etc. and best practices.

Version Informations Into Your Apps With Maven

Thu, 02 Jan 2014 19:08:00 +0000

It often happens having an application and you want to show a version information in a kind of About Dialog or may be on command line as well (probably you know --version stuff).

So in relationship with Maven the question is: How to get this into your Java code.

There are in general four ways to do it:

Using the pom.properties file which is created by default by Maven.
Using the information which is provided by the MANIFST.MF file. There are several ways to get those information.

FluentAPI - Usage

Wed, 01 Jan 2014 01:23:00 +0000

As a Java developer I always got the impression that my own code can be made better (unfortunately I am not perfect). That brought me to think about how I could improve the code.

So I thought several times about my code and while looking for example into my unit/integrations tests I found the following code snippet:

1AccessRules rules = new AccessRules();
2
3AccessRule rule1 = new AccessRule("/");
4rule1.add(UserFactory.createInstance("*"), AccessLevel.READ);
5rule1.add(UserFactory.createInstance("harry"), AccessLevel.READ);
6rule1.add(UserFactory.createInstance("brian"), AccessLevel.READ);
7
8rules.add(rule1);

So far so good but it basically violates the DRY rule. If you take a deeper look into it you will recognize that AcessLevel.READ and UserFactory.createInstance(..) are repeated three times as well as rule1.add(...).
